by Firefox user 14028631, 3 years agoDoes not work anymore, most sites detect that a user-Agent switcher is being used and also some sites refuse to revert because mobile scaling is not in place. You need to update so that when you select a user agent it also scales the resolution of a mobile phone else the site will not go into mobile mode. Does not work until you get some new user-agents, implement automatic resolution scaling so that the page you visit is in a mobile phone resolution and add anti-detection methods. I think this add-on is dead since the developer is no longer responding which is a shame. Hope someone picks up a project like this and makes a better and updated add-on.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14805990, 2 days agoThis is a badly behaving extension that is breaking youtube video playback and google search, causing google to constantly spam captchas everytime I try to use the search engine. I do not recommend installing this!

- Rated 5 out of 5by x3m_ff_usr, 8 days agoUsed to work great, until the latest update (v0.6.5.1)
I’ve been using this extension for a while and it worked flawlessly up until version 0.5.0. Unfortunately, after updating to version 0.6.5.1, it completely stopped working for me, user agents no longer apply as expected, which defeats the purpose of the tool.
Thankfully, Firefox allows users to install older versions of extensions. If you’re experiencing the same issue, you can roll back to a previous version here: addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/versions
Hopefully, the developer can resolve the problems introduced in the latest release. Until then, version 0.5.0 remains the most stable choice. - Rated 5 out of 5by raspberryalpenglow, 12 days agoAmazing open source extension, thank you for your work

- Rated 1 out of 5by Clair De Lune, 24 days agoThe extension used to work fine, until a recent update. Per-container UAs stopped working... Or in fact, the extension as a whole stopped working at all. No changes would make it work again.

- Rated 1 out of 5by FF user 0, a month ago🔹It worked well before the new update. 🔹After the new update, all of the multi- account container becomes sharing the same user agent. 🔹I am using portable firefox with multi-ac containers for nearly 3 to 4 years. 🔹After update the new version of user-agent switcher and manager, 🔹all of the containers share the same user agent and cannot set different user agents for each container alternately.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 19031159, a month agoIt used to work very well, but recently it didn't work, I was frustrated, I didn't know why, I tried whitelist and blacklist mode, it didn't work, I was using the latest version of firefox, not sure if it was a compatibility issue with the latest version
- Rated 5 out of 5by Jeremy Storly, a month agoThis addon has taught me that nearly all web sites that supposedly aren't compatible with Firefox actually are compatible. I use this at work, on my android phone, and on my home PC as well. It's an essential addon, in my opinion, and I've had nothing but success.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14347746, 2 months agoThis doesn't work. I have to manually change the user agent on every startup or time interval. I don't need a data thieving, resource wasting, pretend add-on for that. There is a "Random User-Agent (Switcher)" that works perfectly and is very simple to set up.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18929078, 3 months agoPlease update latest user agent on -UserAegntSwither
- Rated 3 out of 5by Christopher Snowhill, 3 months agoIt works, but apparently, it completely breaks Cloudflare's verification captcha system, so I can't use it.
