Google Plus is not supported by Firefox 23... ¿any longer?

more options

Recently I updated Firefox 22 to the 23 version, but now Google Plus says that my browser is not longer supported. Then they say that I should update my version, but it's already updated to the latest version....

I use Windows 7 Professional, but anyway, I don't think that my OS has something to deal with the issue.

Somebody is facing the same problem?

What should I do?

Maybe your browser is reporting a incorrect user agent combo. The user agent is a string given to all websites identifying your OS and browser version, and it's what websites use to know that your browser is outdated.

Considering Google Plus is workingin my Firefox 23 with Ubuntu 12.04, I recommend you to install the User Agent Switcher extension (get it here) then go to Default User Agent (Firefox, Tools or the world globe menu) and click on Edit User Agents...

Click on New then use the following user agent string:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0

I provide you with a screenshot showing what you should input. Click on OK and OK, then go to Default User Agent menu again and choose the Firefox 23 / Ubuntu user agent.

Try then to load Google Plus.

If that doesn't work, please give feedback so I can find another possible solution.
