User Agent Switcher as Mozilla Firefox Addon

If you do web development or cannot access a page because it asks for a certain user agent you might want to test how a site reacts to a user agent string other than which your default browser sends a little add-on called User Agent Switcher comes in handy.

If you are using Mozilla’s Firefox as a user agent most likely you are almost aware of its capability to add features through its add-ons. One of the available add-ons is the User Agent Switcher by Chris Pederick. With the add-on which is available for free (donations are welcome!) you can switch the identifier your browser sends on the fly. That way you can pretend you are surfing a site with a mobile user agent if you are still using your regular desktop browser.
