Is it possible to specify a different user agent as a startup option for
SM in a desktop shortcut?
For example, a particular website will only allow a logon if I spoof FF
or Chrome. I do this by using the user agent switcher in my prefbar. So
I would like the Shortcut Target to be something like:
"C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey\seamonkey.exe" -useragent FF
"https://www.website.com/login.aspx#";
If not possible using prefbar agent switcher, is there another way?
There is.
Instead of using Prefbar, create a new key in about:config as follows:
Name: general.useragent.override.dumbsite.com
Type: string
Value: whatever UA you want to feed to dumbsite.com
Of course, you'll replace "dumbsite.com" with the appropriate site name.
Then your shortcut only needs to specify the target URL, because SM
automatically lies to dumbsite.com without being told.
Downside: at some future date, you will have to remember to update or
remove the new configuration key due to software changes.
