How can I scan a Firefox-only target?

To scan a target that is usable only by a specific browser, you can configure your Scan parameters with a custom User-Agent string.

In this example, we will assume a Firefox-only target.

While creating a new scan:

• navigate to the Authentication -> Header option
• select the Enable checkbox
• click the New Authentication Header button
• set the Name field to User-Agent
• set the Value field to:

• more recent versions of Firefox will ship with a different User-Agent value; please check that the string value matches a version of Firefox that your target is known to be compatible with

• scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Launch button
