In what way is this helping anyone when not providing details about what you've done?... It's cool you got it solved after 2 months, but at the very least share it if you're going to post; it might be useful to others.

'Necessity is the mother of invention'

I needed it to be, so I invested my time & effort, & in this instance I was successful.

There are a few that seem to not want users to be able to have this ability - to be able to easily change their User Agent.

If they want it bad enough they will either figure it out themselves, like I have, or they will wait for the next incarnation of a working "User Agent Switcher" extension to be programmed & published.

The answer I found won't be forthcoming from me though. :silent:

I tried that once. Once was enough. :silent:

And decided to waste everyone else's on this thread by reviving it just to say 'I found a solution that I won't tell you about! Nana nana naanaa!' :coffee:
