I do it using a Fx extension called Random Agent Spoofer. I have it set to Lynx 2.8.7 (OpenBSD)
I also have these setting set (in the extension):
Send spoofed 'If-None_Match' headers (ETags)
Send spoofed 'X-Forwarded-For' headers
Send spoofed 'Via' headers
Spoof accepted documents
Spoof accepted encoding
Spoof accepted language (US English)
Use standard font set
Disable local dom storage
Limit tab history to 2
Disable browser cache
Disable geolocation
Disable link prefetching
Disable dns prefetching
Do you spoof your user-agent string?

I use fixed spoofing...examples..
google search gives results without a ton eof javascript if it thinks you are ff 1.5
You tube , paypal and similar stop moaning when you use an older browser.
Some video sites will give you a mp4 to play rather than flash if it thinks you are android.
One video site gave a download link if it thought i was on windows.
etc etc...its useful...it was suggested it might make a good security measure if a dodgy site was given false system data so it tried exploits that could not work.
