IE plug-in for Firefox identification IrishPrince - February 12, 2008 - 12:07pm
Is anyone aware of a Firefox plug-in that will change how Firefox identifies itself (and its version) to the network/websites? Some organizations forbid FF from being used and scan the outbound traffic for the Firefox header info. Thx, ( categories: )

Here 2 to get you started:
Quick Preference button

FireSomething

each does more than your asking for however.
I sure there's something simpler out there.

{edit:
If you want down and dirty:
Go to
about:config
change
general.useragent.extra.firefox Firefox/2.0.0.12
to
general.useragent.extra.firefox Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; windows nt 5.1)
for IE 6
I don't know any other settings off hand

Easier: User Agent Switcher
It's easier to just use the User Agent Switcher:

Much easier, I just don't
Much easier,
I just don't have that in my "tool kit" as I have the other two which do multitasking

OT: Look at this
John,
Look at this review of the Add-On:
Almost Useless

It is extremely irritating to have to switch the UA over and over and over again.
User Agent Switcher does not retain its settings between browser restarts (at least not on Ubuntu) and it doesn't work on a per domain / per site basis.
Don't you just hate people sometimes?
Gimme, gimme, gimme

Aren't you glad we don't have people like that here

Yeah
You'd be amazed how many emails I've gotten that say that over the years. I try to focus on the other ones where people say thank you and talk about how it's helped them live their lives, keep in touch with people, travel, etc.
I think "It washes my dishes, but it doesn't dry them, so it sucks" is pretty much the perfect summary of the mindset, though
