'How To Make User Agent Overrides for SeaMonkey'

Post by Frank Lion »

Example : YouTube -

#1. Enter about:config in addressbar and ignore 'warning message'

#2. In about:config, right click any entry >New >String >

#3.1st box (preference name) enter general.useragent.override.youtube.com > click OK

#4. 2nd box (preference value) enter Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 > click OK

#5. You're done and every part (there are 6 or 7) of YouTube will then work for you :) - at the time of writing.

****

#6. To delete your new override entry (not needed or if you mess up) - right click entry and select Reset and restart Seamonkey.

#7. To change the override value to a different UA string value - right click the entry and select Modify, delete existing UA string and paste in the new one and restart Seamonkey.


Note 1: The above 'Box2' (String Value) is for Windows users, Linux and Mac users can adapt their existing UA string (see Help>About Seamonkey) but do note the rv: version must match the Firefox version (60, in the above case).

Example UA strings can be obtained from sites like this - https://www.whatismybrowser.com/guides/ ... ser-agent/
