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?
TIA
Mark, as an alternative to David's suggestion, in your normal Profile,
you could set up a User Agent override preference specifically for your
troublesome site.
1. Back-up your Profile.
2. In SeaMonkey, enter 'about:config' (without the inverted commas)
in the Browser address bar.
3. Accept the warning
4. Right Click on a clear area of the screen
5. Call the preference 'general.useragent.website.com', or whatever
the real website is.
6. Then enter a value, say Firefox 66.0
7. Close SeaMonkey entirely
When you reboot SeaMonkey and go to your troublesome website, SeaMonkey
will present the specific UA to that site. Any normal site will still
see the usual UA.
HTH.
... and, NFN Smith has reminded me that the modified UA preference in my
Step 5 should actually be 'general.useragent.override.website.com'!
Opps!!
