This example assumes a Firefox-only target.

Create a Scan Policy to handle this scenario by cloning an existing policy. For example:

  1. Seelct Policies > Scan Policies from the left-side menu.

  2. Click the Clone button for the Default Security Checks policy

  3. In the General section, assign a name for your new scan policy

Name the new scan policy

  1. In the Request section, add a new User Agent

  2. Configure the new User sgent settings:

    • Set the Name field to Firefox
    • Set the Value field to: 
      Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:135.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/135.0
    • Ensure that the Force this value checkbox is enabled

The final result should be similar to the following:
