That's too bad.  I'd like to suggest though that we /not/ just hijack
the Firefox user agent.  Instead, this is probably a perfect place for
us to make use of --script-args to provide an optional user agent
override.

Something like:

- --script-args http-user-agent="whatever you want"

I'll hack this up in all my copious free time unless someone has a good
nay or alternative.
