76448 - Changing Browser identification via GUI

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 46029

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Holger Metzger]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.8.1+)
Gecko/20010416
BuildID:    2001041620

Some sites lock users of Mozilla/Netscape 6.xx out by checking the user-string.
I know I can set any user-string I like via prefs.js, but for the more
inexperienced user this should be made available through the GUI. What I have in
mind is something like the way Opera handles this (see Opera 5.xx, Preferences,
connections).
For example, 
Mozilla 4.75 compatible - Mozilla 0.9.x (Win98, en) and so forth

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. the example page I gave is in german only. I'm sorry.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  I'm locked out of the site, if I dont disguise myself as
Mozilla 4.75 compatible.

Expected Results:  Not Mozilla's fault.

This is a dupe of bug 46029.
([RFE] Multiple user_agent prefs like in Opera.)
