 My current (defauly) user agent:

 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i586; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0

 If I open dashboard, I get the browser nag: "It looks like you're using an
 insecure version of Firefox. Using an outdated browser makes your computer
 unsafe. For the best WordPress experience, please update your browser."

 If I change my user agent to the same version of FF but on windows:

 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0

 The nag disappears.
