Here is a try push of the browser-chrome tests for the UA string:
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?repo=try&revision=b040f50045ea54e48b848703cf9faf565b7e0063
The test failures are unrelated to the UA string code or tests.

This code was added in bug 1719070 to run an experiment to see if sending a "Firefox 100" UA string causes any major webcompat problems. The experiment ended on 2021-09-28, so we no longer need this code.
This changeset is effectively a backout of bug 1719070's https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/56e4a835369f.

Good eye! I don't plan to land this patch until after the experiment ends. As such, I'd like this commit message to reflect that the experiment has already ended. :)

The Firefox 100 experiment was broken (due to client bug 1732875 because I misunderstood how Nimbus experiment enrollment worked). Thanks to :denschub for finding and fixing that bug!
I will need to rerun the Firefox 100 experiment in Nightly 95, so this bug's patches to remove the Firefox experiment code can't land until Nightly 96.

There are some r+ patches which didn't land and no activity in this bug for 2 weeks.
:cpeterson, could you have a look please?

I need to rerun the related Nightly experiment before I can land these patches to remove the experiment's code.
In the meantime, I will set status-firefox95=wontfix.

This "Firefox 100 User-Agent String" setting was added in bug 1748798 to help test if sending a "Firefox 100" UA string causes any major webcompat problems.
The "general.useragent.forceVersion100" pref will be removed in the next changeset.

I landed approved patch #1 to remove the setting UI, so users won't be confused by the presence of a "Firefox 100 experiment" option in their Firefox 100. I'll land patch #2 after it's reviewed.
