Apparently the guys at Mozilla have found/left a hole somewhere on Waterfox browsers engine (since its also from Mozilla but modified) to reveal the real user agent to websites.
(Note to self: check where is it and how to counter it)
Specific case is addons.mozilla.org: even if you have an user agent spoofer and you choose whatever Firefox version, it will not let download the addon you want.
So the trick is to have an old copy of firefox installed and use it to open the addon page you want. Then simply copy the link to install it, paste into Waterfox and remove the last part of the url so it ends with the xpi extension.
