    Excuse me, can I open multiple Firebox browser pages and make each page have a different browser profile?

    Unfortunately, no. The closest you can get to that functionality is to use the whitelist editor and creating a rule for each site you want to have a separate profile for.

    Usually i dont like to install any add on that isnt a must have. After testing Chameleon i found out that this is one of the must haves!

    I have changed a lot of about:config settings, but i did roll back network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy and etwork.http.referer.trimmingPolicy. I hope those are the 2 most important one to set back to default(?)

    Thank you so much!

    Yes, those two values should not be modified. More info can be found in the wiki: https://github.com/sereneblue/chameleon/wiki/Headers

    Thank you for the kind words. :)

    Не на русском, но все ясно. Можно менять браузеры и ос, через 2ip.ru проверяем.

    Fine! Only small problems like:
    https://github.com/jsdelivr/jsdelivr/issues/18158
    . Related to cache and some console alerts at Firefox nighty.

    If you toggled the prevent etag tracking feature, that's intended. If the if-none-match header for caching, it won't work because Chameleon prevents the browser from saving that information for future requests.

    Wonderful add-on!

    Had issue with "Enable script injection" and whitelisting, which the owner replied to promptly and worked tirelessly to resolve.

    Thanks!

    I really like this addon because it also has a good wiki with recommendation regarding the avaiable settings in this addons.

    However I have two questions for which I did not found a clear answer:
    1. In the Header -> Referer section of the wiki it is noted that two options should not be set in about:config. I assume that setting these options in the user.js is also problematic?
    2. If these options are modified (in about:config or user.js) how does this negatively affect the addon?

    Edit: Thanks to the developer for the fast answer.

    1. Yes, settings those options in the user.js file is also problematic.
    2. The options for managing the headers are a workaround for the existing functionality in Firefox. There isn't a way to toggle those settings using the APIs available. If a user changes those options in their preferences, it may prevent Chameleon from setting the header values properly. Firefox modifies the headers before Chameleon can.

    Thank you for creating this. Ever since Quantum I've really missed Random Agent Spoofer, so this is really welcomed and appreciated.

    Hello. I have this add-on, and I have one question... Why are YouTube videos in mobile mode? I wanna use this add-one and watch regular YouTube videos. As of now, I have this add-on disabled. Is there anyway to fix this?

    You are probably using a mobile profile (iOS/Android). Visit https://httpbin.org/headers and if you see Android or iOS, you are using a mobile profile. If not, please open an issue here: http://github.com/sereneblue/chameleon/issues.

    Glad to hear that! The UX is a bit cumbersome on Android but hopefully the new whitelist editor makes thing a bit easier.

    EDIT: This will be fixed in v0.9.0.

    amazing, is that possible to change user agent based on tab container?
    so every tab container have different consistent user agent

    Developer response

    posted 7 years ago
    It's possible for the request headers but it wouldn't work for the navigator properties (another way for sites to fingerprint your platform and user agent). I plan to work on something for containers in the near future.
