Comment (by tom):
I'm sorry - I was wrong about `navigator.userAgent`. We wanted to test
with that one reporting the correct platform; and I thought your patch
would do that - but I was wrong.
To test with the userAgent DOM property remaining the same, we will also
need to edit: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-
central/source/dom/base/Navigator.cpp#1617
I think the fastest thing to do for testing purposes would be to strip the
'!nsContentUtils::ShouldResistFingerprinting' guarding the
'general.useragent.override' pref and then set
'general.useragent.override' to 'Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13'
Sorry =(
