+## Change user agent and platform ##
+
+To change the user agent in firefox, add the following string key in *about:config:*
+
+_general.useragent.override_
+
+The value for the key is your browser's user agent. Select a known common one.
+
+*Tip:* _The value Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0_ is used as the user agent for the Tor browser, thus being very common.
+
+_*Warning: Changing the user agent without changing to a corresponding platform will make your browser nearly unique.*_
+
+To change the platform for firefox, add the following string key in *about:config:*
+
+_general.platform.override_
+
+Select a known common platform that corresponds with your user agent.
+
+*Tip:* _The value Win32 is used as the platform for the Tor browser, corresponding with the user agent provided above._
