HOW TO CHANGE FIREFOX USER AGENT

Unarguably, mozilla firefox remains the best web browser ever...so flexible, easy to use and customizable with different add-ons.
Now have u ever tried visitin some mobile sites on PC and they complain u have to enter the site wit ur phone? Or you just want to hide the fact that you're using Firefox? Concerned about full anonimity and browser identification?.... It all boils down to your user agent...If only u can make your PC appear to those sites like a mobile phone...say Nokia N73.

To change the User Agent string, just enter about:config as an address in the address bar of FireFox, the location where you normally enter a URL (link)...Ignore the scary warning and proceed.

Now press the right mouse button to get the context menu and select "new" then "string"

write general.useragent.override

I recommend to preserve the original value, perhaps u can keep it on a notepad in case u wanna restore it.
If u want to use Nokia N73 user agent, write...
Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.1; U; [en]; NokiaN73-1/3.0638.0.0.1 Series60/3.0) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413

To make ur mozilla appear like an iphone, write...
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a Safari/419.3

NOW ACCESS ANY MOBILE SITE WITH FIREFOX WITHOUT RESTRICTION.

You can also personalize the original user agent with your name or something...the choice is yours.
