What is the correct way to override useragent

I have some trouble with the spanish website www.eldiario.es


What is the correct way to specify  override the useragent?

Is it general.useragent.override.eldiario.es ? Or browser.useragent.override.eldiario.es ?

I tried "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:68.9) Gecko/20100101 Goanna/4.6 Firefox/68.9 PaleMoon/28.12.0". What is the current  Firefox useragent ?

The preference is
    general.useragent.override.eldiario.es
Try using the value
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:75.0)
        Gecko/20100101 Firefox/75.0
but all on one line.

Thank you,

Previously I tried both general... and browser... with other useragent strings. This time I tried with Pale Moon because the website functions correctly with Pale Moon.

It seems that eldiario.es is one of the several websites which don't support SM as in " RottenTomatoes.com rejects SeaMonkey even with fake UA".

Are there some guidelines/tools to diagnose what kind of software they use and try to (1) indicate the administrators of the website the origin of this behaviour and (2) in the meantime to mitigate the problem ?

Here are some of the cookies I found : BrainHub, _gat_UA-30394221-1.

With SM 2.53.3, JavaScript disabled (NoScript) and no site styles (View>Use Style>None), you can read text from the paper.

With JavaScript disabled and site styles (View>Use Style>Default Style) fixed by this user CSS, you can read text from the paper, but with a better layout:

body {opacity: 1 !important;}

With www.eldiario.es enabled for JS and site styles, the menu works, and you can read the paper with images visible.

The pages and menu works, but the login process doesn't.

The login process ( the link "inicia sesión" )  apparently works when you clear the cookies for the website , but when you load any article the session is not activated. When I tried to write a comment, it says that I'm not logged in.

This works well in Firefox and Pale Moon.

I infer that the website that does not support SM.

How can I debug the javascript in order to alert the managers of the website of their misbehaviour ?

Might it not just be SM's cookie or User Tracking settings? I don't see any links for commenting, so I guess only supporters of the paper have that option (hazte social...). Then  top banner maintains the login ID when I read an article.

Indeed only supporters can comment.

Apparently the login process works, I received "hola username" after login, but when I try to comment, the website says that I am not logged. With Firefox and even Pale Moon , the comments section works.

Every week I test the website to verify that they have resolved the problem. And every week I send a new email to their technical department asking that they correct this misbehaviour.

Is There a  reader of Spanish newspapers in this newsgroup so that we can further investigate and perhaps convince the managers of eldiario.es to resolve the problem ?

Is there anything relevant in the Error Console (eg JS errors)?

And I say again, might it not just be SM's cookie or User Tracking settings?

What kind of JS errors should I look for?
