I wrote a version detector based on Hermann Ingjaldsson s answer  but more robust and which returns an object with name version data in it   It covers the major browsers but I don t bother with the plethora of mobile ones and minor ones   function getBrowserData nav        var data            var ua   data uaString   nav userAgent      var browserMatch   ua match   opera chrome safari firefox msie trident           s    d      i             if  browserMatch 1     browserMatch 1    browserMatch 1  toLowerCase          var operaMatch   browserMatch 1       chrome       if  operaMatch    operaMatch   ua match   bOPR     d                if   trident i test browserMatch 1              var msieMatch     brv        d      g exec ua                 data name    msie           data version   msieMatch 1             else if  operaMatch            data name    opera           data version   operaMatch 1             else if  browserMatch 1       safari             var safariVersionMatch   ua match  version     d      i           data name    safari           data version   safariVersionMatch 1             else           data name   browserMatch 1           data version   browserMatch 2              var versionParts           if  data version            var versionPartsMatch   data version match    d   g                 for  var i 0  i  lt  versionPartsMatch length  i                  versionParts push versionPartsMatch i                      if  versionParts length  gt  0    data majorVersion   versionParts 0               data name   data name      unknown browser name        data version             full  data version      unknown full browser version            parts  versionParts          major  versionParts length  gt  0   versionParts 0      unknown major browser version               return data       It can then be used like this   var brData   getBrowserData window navigator    navigator   console log  name      brData name   console log  major version      brData version major      etc

I was looking for a solution for myself  since jQuery 1 9 1 and above have removed the   browser functionality  I came up with this little function that works for me  It does need a global variable  I ve called mine  browser  in order to check which browser it is  I ve written a jsfiddle to illustrate how it can be used  of course it can be expanded for other browsers by just adding a test for  browser foo  where foo is the name of the browser  I did just the popular ones   detectBrowser     browser        function detectBrowser       var uagent   navigator userAgent toLowerCase          match           browser chrome     webkit  test uagent    amp  amp   chrome  test uagent        amp  amp                         edge  test uagent       browser firefox    mozilla  test uagent   amp  amp   firefox  test uagent       browser msie       msie  test uagent         trident  test uagent                               edge  test uagent       browser safari     safari  test uagent    amp  amp   applewebkit  test uagent   amp  amp                         chrome  test uagent       browser opr        mozilla  test uagent   amp  amp   applewebkit  test uagent   amp  amp                        chrome  test uagent    amp  amp   safari  test uagent        amp  amp                        opr  test uagent       browser version          for  x in  browser        if   browser x            match   uagent match                  new RegExp        x      msie     msie edge    x              0-9                              if  match             browser version   match 3           else           match   uagent match new RegExp  rv   0-9                 browser version   match   match 1                      break               browser opera    browser opr    delete  browser opr      To check if the current browser is Opera you would do  if   browser opera       Opera specific code     Edit Fixed the formatting  fixed the detection for IE11 and Opera Chrome  changed to browserResult from result  Now the order of the  browser keys doesn t matter  Updated jsFiddle link   2015 08 11 Edit Added new testcase for Internet Explorer 12  EDGE   fixed a small regexp problem  Updated jsFiddle link

This page seems to have a pretty nice snippet which only uses the appString and appVersion property as a last resort as it claims them to be unreliable with certain browsers  The code on the page is as follows   var nVer   navigator appVersion  var nAgt   navigator userAgent  var browserName    navigator appName  var fullVersion       parseFloat navigator appVersion    var majorVersion   parseInt navigator appVersion 10   var nameOffset verOffset ix      In Opera 15   the true version is after  OPR    if   verOffset nAgt indexOf  OPR      -1     browserName    Opera    fullVersion   nAgt substring verOffset 4        In older Opera  the true version is after  Opera  or after  Version  else if   verOffset nAgt indexOf  Opera     -1     browserName    Opera    fullVersion   nAgt substring verOffset 6    if   verOffset nAgt indexOf  Version     -1      fullVersion   nAgt substring verOffset 8        In MSIE  the true version is after  MSIE  in userAgent else if   verOffset nAgt indexOf  MSIE     -1     browserName    Microsoft Internet Explorer    fullVersion   nAgt substring verOffset 5        In Chrome  the true version is after  Chrome   else if   verOffset nAgt indexOf  Chrome     -1     browserName    Chrome    fullVersion   nAgt substring verOffset 7        In Safari  the true version is after  Safari  or after  Version   else if   verOffset nAgt indexOf  Safari     -1     browserName    Safari    fullVersion   nAgt substring verOffset 7    if   verOffset nAgt indexOf  Version     -1      fullVersion   nAgt substring verOffset 8        In Firefox  the true version is after  Firefox   else if   verOffset nAgt indexOf  Firefox     -1     browserName    Firefox    fullVersion   nAgt substring verOffset 8        In most other browsers   name version  is at the end of userAgent  else if    nameOffset nAgt lastIndexOf      1   lt              verOffset nAgt lastIndexOf             browserName   nAgt substring nameOffset verOffset    fullVersion   nAgt substring verOffset 1    if  browserName toLowerCase    browserName toUpperCase        browserName   navigator appName          trim the fullVersion string at semicolon space if present if   ix fullVersion indexOf        -1     fullVersion fullVersion substring 0 ix   if   ix fullVersion indexOf        -1     fullVersion fullVersion substring 0 ix    majorVersion   parseInt    fullVersion 10   if  isNaN majorVersion      fullVersion       parseFloat navigator appVersion     majorVersion   parseInt navigator appVersion 10      document write       Browser name      browserName   lt br gt      Full version      fullVersion   lt br gt      Major version     majorVersion   lt br gt      navigator appName     navigator appName   lt br gt      navigator userAgent     navigator userAgent   lt br gt

In pure Javascript you can do a RegExp match on the navigator userAgent to find the Firefox version   var uMatch   navigator userAgent match  Firefox               ffVersion  if  uMatch  amp  amp  uMatch length  gt  1        ffVersion   uMatch 1       ffVersion will be undefined if not a Firefox browser   See working example   x2192
