Is there a way to make sites think Fox is actually IE?

**100%** · 03-06-2005, 12:00 PM

For some stupid reason, this site nolonger lets me use Fox to view it
http://www.finn.no/finn/realestate (it says in the top "iyou need to update your browser"
(even though i was just using fox1.0 and just upgraded it to 1.01 - same problem
so is there a way or extension or something to make the site think my ffox is actually IE or someother browser?
thank you

edit: the site was working perfectly with fox during the entire year and since today they seem to have changed something...

there are AGENT plugins for FF, or you could use proxomitron

you can do it in config

go to about:config in firefox > right-click somewhere > New > String > general.useragent.override > this can be any value you want, but to mimic the IE6 SP2 User-Agent string, add this "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)"

you can check your user agent in about: in the address bar
