Could someone remind me again how to lie to a specific website

I prove that I have at least Firefox 47 [sic].
Here are two examples from my user.js:
user_pref("general.useragent.override.independent.co.uk", "Mozilla/5.0
(X11; Linux x86_64; rv:59.0) Gecko/2018010400 Firefox/59.0
SeaMonkey/2.56a1-h");
user_pref("general.useragent.override.whatsapp.com", "Mozilla/5.0
(Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0")
Thanks. Will give it a shot.
... but, Paul, note that the two user prefs Hartmut gave you are
overrides for specific web sites, so may not fix your problem.
However, they may indicate have to set your own override for the
specific sites you are having problems with!!
Overrides for specific websites is exactly what I asked for.
I have the basic competence to replace "independent.co.uk" or
"whatsapp.com" with the domain that's bothering me and to replace his UA
strings with my own. I'm not a complete idiot. I just needed the syntax.
No worries ... just pointing it out! ;-)
