Reply: (edit)I don't really understand the question. Do you want to make your Firefox to send custom user agent info? That can be done of course but will require some hacks on Firefox which I don't know how :D You can look in firefox developer forums or similar. As for the private IP determination, in PHP, $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] will give you all IP other than the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], if available, and if the proxy is a transparent proxy. If it's a high anonymity proxy, then there's no way you can get the real (or private) address. ---

Reply: (edit)actually a search on google will show you the way to change user agent info on firefox :-) type: about:config in firefox' address bar, there you can change things out. I havent tried, but there're some settings you can change when using "agent" as filter. ---

Reply: (edit)Wait... I got curious and tried to change it. It works: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v29/Laler/about-config.png I only change the value of general.useragent.extra.firefox. I believe we can change other values as well. About the http_x_forwarded_for, it'll show IPs behind transparent proxies. If you don't use proxies, although you're in a LAN -- especially a Windows LAN with (ICS), then your PC's (private) IP will not be shown in the http_x_forwarded_for.
