Comment:

 If you are using that alpha then you are fingerprintable anyway due to you
 being on ESR60 with all the new features and the other users being on
 ESR52. The user agent won't hide that fact. Moreover, the idea is to test
 ESR60 in its final form (as good as possible) and setting the user agent
 to one for ESR 52 would counteract that goal. Thus, we won't do that.
