    Dude you just stole my heart with this addon. This is working perfectly as I wanted to. I want to add more User-Agents and OS and others for that I need your kind help. I have emailed you to the support email listed for this addon page.

    *** I'm seeking for your attention dear admin of this addon sir ***

    I need your kind help to add more User-Agents, OS, Versions etc.

    Can you publish an Updated Version soon? Or else You can help me to add manually?
    I'm really not aware of user-agents for different browsers and OS.

    *** Waiting for your response ***

    Sorry for the late response, I didn't see your message earlier unfortunately. The list of shipped User-Agents was recently updated. I do not plan on extending the shipped User-Agent list, since maintaining it is quite a bit of work and don't want to add any obscure entries.

    You can, however, add you own entries in the settings (Menu → Add-Ons → Extensions → User-Agent-Switcher → Preferences). In order to find the strings you need I'd suggest looking at http://useragentstring.com/pages/useragentstring.php which has a very big list of those (they are not always up-to-date however).

    Sincerely, Alexander

    Unlike some other apps I saw suggested from Firefox & others results from Apps search & Google search this 1 actually was to UPLOAD images to certain sites like Instagram (90% of the others were to download images already posted on sites by other people instead of using screenshot apps, almost complete opposite of what I was searching for). And even better you explained how it works & how to use it RIGHT in certain internet servers. That helped a lot more than what I got from Google (lol. Some results were even outdated/impossible to use now). This saved me time & even money because now I don't have to go buy a smartphone just to actually/fully use a website (or 2+).

    Seems to be one of the more frequently updated UA changing extensions. Keep it up!

    Love it that you can add custom strings (just use Ctrl + V to paste). It works very well. It doesn't fool the Firefox add on site, but I see this is a Firefox policy, and the developer has provided a work around. This is a terrific, easy to understand and use add on. It does fool Google and all the user-agent testing sites.

    Thanks for the review! Unfortunately this is a limitation of the WebExtension API: The Firefox add-on site is blacklisted from manipulations of extensions due to browser policy. I've added this (and a manual workaround) to add-on's description.

    Does the job very well.
    It would be a nice addition to reset the Switcher when the browser closes.
    well done!

    Finally, I can switch entirely to using Firefox on Android! Google Maps and Google Voice give me all the menu options now, not the nerfed versions they serve to us Firefox Android users! It even does site-specific domains! Erm, I only wish I could specify for it to work only on certain Google sites, Maps and Voice (www.google.com/maps and www.google.com/voice), but not Google Search. Unfortunately, Google redirects to these addresses and then the extension doesn't catch these sites.

    Thank you for your feedback!

    You can already match on subdomains or on the entirty of the Google domain (ie: `*.google.com`). Adding matching for subpaths will not be added since the UI for this would be quite complex and the paths on many domains are meaningless anyways.

    I'm not sure what you mean with „the extension stops working“, but if there are specific issues you see with this extension that you would like see fixed please open an issue (with detailed problem description, steps to reproduce, …) at https://gitlab.com/ntninja/user-agent-switcher/issues/new .
