I would certainly like to see such and identification capability in
Iceweasel. What are the possibilities?

That is the one you are looking for.
Thanks for the tip. I tried to access one particular website using the
default agent (Mozilla/5) and the MSIE and Netscape options listed, to
no avail. I then imported a long list of user agents from bstrange
which I found on on of Chris Pederick's fora. I tried using several of
the agents that list which looked likely (versions of MSIE and Netscape
7 and later), but the website was still blocked.
Either the one particular site I wanted to access is one which cannot be
accessed that way (Chris warns about this possibility), or I don't know
how to use the switcher.
The window which opened on that site instead of the login window told me
1) I needed to have the correct date and time, 2) I needed to have
Javascript and Accept Cookies enabled, 3) I needed 128 bit enabled, and
4) I should install either MSIE 6 or Netscape 7 from the download
centres I gave me for my convenience. I have the first three and don't
need the fourth.
So this site seems to do its detection in some other way. Strangely, I
can access it with Konqueror which describes itself as Mozilla/5 etc.
