Using a fake user agent (UA) string to make a Web server act as if a browser being used is different from the actual browser (e.g., as if Opera were being used when actually Firefox is being used) is called "spoofing". See my <http://www.rossde.com/internet/intr_gloss.shtml#spoof>. Immediately below "spoof" is a discussion of "UA". The reason someone might want to spoof a different browser is discussed in my "Browser Sniffing: Detecting It, Dealing With It, and Defeating It" at <http://www.rossde.com/internet/sniffing.shtml>. On that Web page, the section "Defeating Browser Sniffing" is specifically oriented towards SeaMonkey. That section cites two extensions, either of which facilitates spoofing. Those are NOT Webextensions, so they should still work with SeaMonkey but will not work with Firefox. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> Attorney-General Sessions claims the bible favors imprisoning illegal aliens. However, God repeatedly commanded us to welcome the stranger in our land. For example, see the following: Exodus 22:20 at <http://bible.ort.org/books/pentd2.asp?ACTION=displaypage&BOOK=2&CHAPTER=22#P2131> Exodus 23:9 at <http://bible.ort.org/books/pentd2.asp?ACTION=displaypage&BOOK=2&CHAPTER=23#P2151> Deuteronomy 10:19 at <http://bible.ort.org/books/pentd2.asp?ACTION=displaypage&BOOK=5&CHAPTER=10#P5200> _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
