For specific purposes always. 
I use a specialized install for it (Could be also a profile since the change is located in prefs.js).

This says as default 4 Your link.

Your User Agent is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.8.1.23) Gecko/20091019

To achieve this - I deleted via about : config the string from general.useragent.vendor.

Reason: vendor is the only possible give-away when I spoof.

[url=http://freenet-homepage.de/CoolMcKluus/software/kmeleon/tests/browser_engine_detector/]K-Meleon dev kko's BBDetector page detects what layout engine Your browser has.[/url]

And it tries to figure out Your browser's real User Agent name.
It can find that I use a Gecko. That is all.

Which means: That my K-Meleon can flawlessly spoof any other browser with a Gecko Layout engine.

p.s. Mail Pages like: yahoo.mail, hotmail, gmail... and some social community pages have buggy browser detection that prevents full usage when You do not use a browser that they have white-listed.

For these pages I have installed [url=http://kmext.sourceforge.net/macros/agentswitcherplus.7z]Auto Agent Switch[/url] by disrupted.

Usually FF2 is sufficient rarely FF 3.x is needed.

This detailed browser sniffing works when JavaScript is active.

BTW. [i]"To spoof always another User Agent String reduces the nominal %age in usage statistics. Nobody would find out even if K-Meleon had the needed market share. This would cause the nuisance to continue forever."[/i] [url=http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/forum/read.php?1,87949,88110#msg-88110]Quoted from a Letter to hotmail.[/url][/quote]
