Comment (by ma1):

 Replying to [comment:9 acat]:

 > I think it may be simply because `navigator.userAgent` is spoofed.

 Correct. However what's the point of spoofing in a WebExtension background
 page? Maybe another blocker for
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1450398 ?

 > Maybe you could use `browser.runtime.getBrowserInfo()`, which always
 reports the right version?

 Yes, I had considered this, but I preferred to avoid it in early
 initialization code because it's an asynchronous API. However I've got
 hacks in places to make it a lesser issue, so I guess I can live with
 that. Switching to getBrowserInfo() in rc2.
