In Firefox (version 0.9.1 here), if you type about:config into the
address bar, you can filter for 'general.useragent'. That will give you
a list of 5 properties that control the user agent string.
Alternatively, you might want to take a look at the User Agent Switcher
extension, at http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/useragentswitcher
Hope this helps,
