Set a custom user-agent string in FireFox


Last Updated: 2009-07-20

Changing your user agent sent by your browser can help when a website offers different content to search engines.

In FireFox, goto about:config right click and select New=>String
general.useragent.override
and set the useragent to something else. I use
Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)

I can reset to the original user-agent string by right clicking and selecting Reset...
