The User Agent Switcher extension is a secret agent in disguise for Firefox. You can put on your IE hat and slip past virtual bouncers into Internet Explorer-only websites; blend in as an iPhone and explore the web’s mobile underbelly; or flash your fake Google ID card and get the V.I.P. treatment.
