firefox user agent
Ok, this is really a note to myself, but it may help somebody else.Anyway, WebCT Vista didn't support firefox 1.5 last year, so I had to spoof the user agent string to bypass the stupid browser detection. Here's how I did it:
1) enter about:config as an address in the address bar of FireFox
2) right click to get the context menu and select "String" from the menu entry "New". Enter the preference name "general.useragent.override", without the quotes.
3) here is the string I used to spoof Firefox 1.0:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Anyway, I want to delete this override because I need a *newer* useragent string to use zillow.com.
*sigh* why do stupid web developers still use browser detection scripts in 2007?
