Dear All,

I am using a commercial server software (web frontend) which checks the UA 
string of my browser to assure that I am using "Google Chrome" browser when 
accessing the server. 
When I use standard Firefox it fails to load (moaning about google chrome 
is required).

Here at work I am only allowed to use Firefox. 

So I installed Firefox plugins like "User-Agent Switcher" to simply change 
my UA string to some Chrome string. 
This works fine for my specific software (so I don't really know why they 
require Google Chrome for their software).

But as a side effect: Using Firefox and changing the UA strings makes 
Google Drive (Google Docs) unusable :-(
With a modified UA string I am not able to open any document from my Google 
Drive (tables, images, whatever), "Document cannot be loaded" (in German). 
Funnily the document itself shows up for a few seconds and then it fails to 
load.

Any idea why this happens? Or how I can circumvent this issue (using FF)?

* Switching UA string back and forth is not an option, as I sometimes need 
Google Docs and the other frontend in parallel

* Using another browser is not an option neither

* Can I force Firefox to use a modified UA string for specific IPs or 
domains only? 

System: Linux / Windows 7, Firefox ~50/51, non-admin

thanks,
Sven
