I am one of those rare individuals who do not own (or desire to) a mobile phone or other Android device. But I do need to use Instagram. I have of course tried all the so called Android Emulators, none of them work well or not at all with Windows XP. So to get around this I had been using up until a week ago the User Agent switch to enable me to upload photos to my Instagram account. Last week it stopped working. When I go to the User Agent Switch, click on any Mobile tab, then open Instagram, I no longer have the upload options visible (either a camera icon or plus+ symbol). How can I fix this?

This is kind of a common name for different extensions. Which one do you have? You can grab the name, version, and ID from the Troubleshooting Information page. Either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > "?" Help > Troubleshooting Information
  • (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
  • type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter

Scroll down past "Application Basics" and "Firefox Features" to "Extensions". Thanks.

Also, of course, you could try to get support for the extension's author...

I've tried the support and help, there doesn't appear to be anything to cover my issue. Here is a screen cap.

Did you test the user agent to see if this is a problem with the extension or with the Instagram website?

You can check out at the browserspy website how websites see you:

  • Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:52.0) Gecko/52.0 Firefox/52.0

@cor-el Yes! that works. The second link led me to a new User Agent add on, worked brilliantly firs time. Thank you.
