Im looking for something that i can use for IE or FireFox that will allow me to make it look like im a different OS/Browser and even a search bot.
 
I need it so i can test a stats script with different OS/Browser configurations.
 
Anyone know anything that i could use?

Firefox has a plugin that does it, I got it.  Look for user agent switcher.

As a side note, be careful when using the agent switcher. For instance, I had mine set to IE 6, but the WYSIWYG editor here on the forum didn't like to give me focus in the text area. Setting it back to the default agent (FF 1.x) made everything work just fine again.

I bet if I browsed the internet using the RIAA bot useragent string I would get blocked from a few sites! LOL

If you are spoofing your user agent, be prepared to have some web sites screw up on you.

You are actually better off to stick with the defaults unless you have a really good reason.
