My PrefBar only lists some very old browsers: Moz 1.7.13 Lin, NS 4.7
Mac, NS 6.2 Lin, IE 6.0 WinXP, SM 1.0.8 Lin, FF 2.0.0.2 Lin, and Lynx.
I'm running SM 2.0.14, and when I click on "find updates" for PrefBar,
I'm told "No updates were found."
So, how can I get User-agent to spoof more recent versions of browsers?
I prefer User Agent Switcher -

It says "Firefox version", but it work with SM. It will allow you to
keep lists of the strings you like to spoof. Nice feature is that it
also always returns to default on exit.
Easy way to get strings without constructing them yourself is to
navigate here using the browser you'd like to spoof and copy it's string -
http://www.useragentstring.com/
Other than that there's a lot of useful info here on constructing UA
strings.
Thanks to all. I believe I'm using PrefBar v 5.1.1, since that what it
says when I go to Tools|Add-ons. In any case, I've managed to follow
Rufus' suggestion and modify the UA's to what I like. I didn't find it
easy, since the javascript syntax is not familiar to me. Seems to work.
