    OK, reloaded package manager, upgraded to 115.4.1 . This post from Mantic.

    We'll see what this UserAgent looks like now.

    Why would they change back ? They made the change
    as part of Supernova or earlier, for some reason,
    and I don't think the change was arbitrary or an
    accident. There is no useragent override in about:config
    showing right now.

    OK, now look at your header. What UserAgent string did it place in the posting ?

    Give me a howard post to look at, showing what you're seeing (the old style UA).

    Enter the MID of the message you think has that UserAgent string, and
    include < > brackets around it for Howard. The plain text message
    you see in the browser, copy the URL into a posting so I can open it (from howard).
