Elinks user agent

davidnix71:
Using about:config doesn't work completely in Firefox, either. You have to use the plugin.

I found this looking for your answer :

The author has posted the user-agent strings for three bots. You may be able to gain access to some reg only sites by pretending to be a bot.

I can already put any old thing for a user agent in firefox. I was looking to change it in elinks. I find apps in linux that announce your kernel  to be annoying. I tried looking through the source but couldn't find it. Even compiling it appearently the user agent is added by the the distro when configuring, so searching the exact text didn't find it.

For FF you don't need plugin ... just change prefs.js in ~/.mozilla/firefox/#####.default/prefs.js

Same thing from before the thread. And as this weaki states Setup>Network Options, I see no such thing in the elinks menu, then again the weaki states "links".
