Details
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3+) Gecko/20010827)
BuildID: 2001082708
If I try to spoof my useragent field by editing user.js in my profile directory,
and I specify a browser version of <5, mozilla will not start and generates an
error,
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Add/amend the line in user.js
user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5;
Windows NT 4.0)");
to match what MSIE uses, and then try and start Mozilla
Actual Results: Mozilla does not start with the following messages in my
terminal window:
INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Expected a version > 5! Version = 0
System error?:: Invalid argument
Expected Results: Mozilla should start.
Setting to Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0) however works fine.

This is a dupe of bug 83376
You can use a spoofed UA String if you disable the Java Plugin..
