Comment:

 That does not buy us anything and makes things only more complex. It is
 detectable that you are not on a newer Firefox even though your user agent
 is claiming this. Plus there are risks that users run into broken websites
 due to this (there are websites out there that rely on user agent
 detection for serving different content).
