See above. Yes, you can change your user agent in prefs.js, but that
hard-codes things, and you have to update every time that Mozilla does
another update cycle.
One minor glitch that I've discovered with spoofing in Seamonkey is that
it affects your email, as well. When you send mail, User-Agent: is also
a header line. I use the dispMUA extension that shows a message's
User-Agent: header (useful for providing tech support, to know which
client a user is using), as an icon in the message header display. A
few days ago, I was sorting out my Sent Mail folder, and noticed that
several messages that I had sent were showing a Firefox logo. On
further investigation, I discovered that those messages had been sent,
when I had Seamonkey spoofing that I was running Firefox on a Mac.
Smithy, why use an extension (dispMUA) to display a message's
User-Agent: header when all you need do is set the pref
mailnews.headers.showUserAgent to false and the User-Agent line will be
displayed in the "Subject" area of the message pane.
Could you specify exactly how you added the FireFox user-agent
string to
the PrefBar. For somebody who is tech stupid, that is. There used to
be a way in the Tools menu to manage the user-agent. That hasn't been
around for a while.
This might be the general.useragent.compatMode.firefox pref in
about:config of SeaMonkey, *not* PrefBar. Try clicking on the Pref to
set it to false, maybe.
