Changing your UserAgent in Firefox

logo

Sometimes you get an irritating message that the site is only for specific operating systems or browsers. But you want to see if Firefox can’t render it anyway.

Here’s how.

  1. Go to the address about:config
  2. Search for the key general.useragent.override
  3. If it’s not there, right click in the window and select “New -> String”
  4. For the key name, type general.useragent.override
  5. For the value, type Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1), or some other UserAgent string that you want to mimic
