User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0
Build ID: 20170926190823

Steps to reproduce:

Without ability to get and set the following and 4 other related preferences, my Blend In extension loses most of its functionality if i convert it to WebExtension:
general.appversion.override


Actual results:

It will end up spoofing only HTTP User-Agent header (to say it's Windows, etc.), while all the navigator properties will be saying it's Linux, for instance.
