    I don't think that thats what he means. That extension only enables you to right click a page an chose to view it in IE.
    Can you please specifie what you want unhappy?

    There is an extension to change the browsers identifiction , can't remember the name though so do some leg/finger work.

    "You must spread your AntiPoints around before giving it to dinowuff again."

    thanx ... that'll help too

    BUT

    your browser identifies itself to the server (w/ header i think of some kind) ... i would like my firefox to identify itself as IE ... i heard that there's a setting somewhere

    I have searched with everything i could come up with. I didn't find anything that makes a server think you are using IE. I did find a theme that makes firefox look like IE 6.0 But that has been deleted. Sorry but this was the best I could do. You can try it youself but i tried: chagne, browser , identity, change identity, IE, internet explorer and a few more. If you do find it tell me because i am intressted

    Hi

    What you are looking for is the user agent switcher[1].

    The only (...) way a server can decide, which browser is accessing a
    page, is by reading out the $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] environment
    variable. After some string-analysis, the server "knows" what he is
    dealing with. This also is possible with Tedob1's suggestion, but maybe,
    not as comfortable ?


    Cheers
