[i][b](update: Version 1.1)[/b][/i]

This is for sending a fake "vendor" (=browser name) to sites that won't let you in otherwise. There's also a menu entry to check the current User Agent String.
More explanations below inside macro :)

Copy the blue text into a text file and save it as "useragent2.kmm" in the macros folder:

#  [b]To TOGGLE "USERAGENT.VENDOR" and "USERAGENT.VENDORSUB" in about:config[/b]
#
#  This is just meant [b]additionally to the default macro useragent.kmm[/b], which switches useragents.
#  This macro here can [b]fake the vendor string (="K-Meleon")[/b], according to the useragent 
#  set by the default  macro. Wrote this because possibly there may be nasty websites out there 
#  which ignore the useragent and rather decide by the vendor whether to let you in or not. 
#  At any rate you can try out with this macro ;-)
#  TIP:  Check on a site like www.browserspy.dk how much your settings reveal!
#
#  NOTES:
#  ** At each browser restart the vendor will be reset to K-Meleon, to change that read at bottom.
#  ** And if you want to change the vendor strings automatically when switching UserAgent, open 
#  useragent.kmm and insert 3 lines, with a comment line before (e.g. ##### useragent2.kmm) 
# 1)  insert as the last line before "}" in submacro "_UserAgent_Reset{"  (ca line-75):
#       getpref(BOOL,$_UserAgent_Reset)?&useragent2_vendorKM:0;
# 2)  insert as the last line before "}" in submacro "_UserAgent{"  (ca line-44):
#       &useragent2_vendorXY;
# 3)  insert as the last line before "}" in submacro "UserAgent{"  (ca line-17):
#       $ARG==""?&useragent2_vendorKM:0;
# ** The User Agent strings are defined in K-Meleon/defaults/pref/I10n.js (use notepad)
#    Strings for FF3 and Opera-Linux:  kmeleon.sourceforge.net/forum/read.php?1,101141
