In my bookmarks, I've inserted comments on which bookmarked Web sites
require spoofing. These comments appear in the exported bookmarks.html
file, which I use as my home page.
You know what would be better? With an addon/extension, we assign
specific user agents for specific web sites instead of manually doing it.
Useful posts by KaiRo that I share in principle, but however
unfortunately have not paned out as possible solution(s) due to the way
internal Gecko Works.

Since 2007? Is Gecko really the culprit/issue?
Well yes, it is. Manpower devoted to adjusting the codebase could solve
the issue. Anything is possible with time in software, its just a matter
of devoting the time to that over other things. And at least myself and
KaiRo have been quite busy in other things that are more important uses
of our time.
Well yes... then why even mention it at all? And why offer up the
all-to-often 'Manpower' nonsense?
You are the one that brought up the 2007 blog.
Shall we all sit around the campfire and sing kubaya songs because you
and Robert never got around to implementing any of those thoughts?
You stated "unfortunately have not paned out as possible solution(s) due
to the way internal Gecko Works". Perhaps you'd care to explain exactly
as to how Gecko is the issue here - particularly given that Gecko has
undergone considerable revisions since the 2007 kairo blogs.
My guess is that 'Gecko' has nothing to do with adding a widget/option
to allow users to select a website (or overall) UA string. Prebar has
been doing it for many years now. Other addons have also added this for
quite some time.
So, would you care to explain (again) just how all this has to do with
Gecko? Or would you prefer to fallback/back-peddle to the 'Manpower'
explaination instead? Note: I've no issue with 'manpower/womanpower'
being an excuse; but *please* don't give us both Gecko and Manpower and
"Anything is possible with time in software, its just a matter
of devoting the time to that over other things. And at least myself and
KaiRo have been quite busy in other things that are more important uses
of our time." all in the same response. Enough of that already.
Long story short, I expect this would take, not counting reviews, a
minimum of 6 months constant work from someone doing it 40 hours a week,
to get the internal code in a shape that would be usable for the
solution KaiRo suggests.
Its just the way LOTS of internal architetchure is fitted together, its
even worse when you consider that us, the SeaMonkey team, are not *very*
familiar with that internal architetchure used here... (such as
bugs/features we need to preserve, gotchya's etc.)
