Answer 1

If You will decide not to do it by progamming, Firefox has an addon called "User Agent Switcher" which works great. Maybe It will help You.

Answer 2

From your last comment I am not sure if you are familiar with registry classes. Here are some tutorials on accessing and modifying registry.

• Code project

• Dream in code

• C-sharpcorner

Then you need to modify HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent key.
