Is it possible to make Firefox or any other browser user agent appear like it would be Windows?

Because my online-banking refuses access due to my operating system. The only accepted OS is Windows.

I'd imagine that they're just querying the user agent, which you can easily customize with an add-on like the User Agent Switcher.

Once you've installed that, Google can provide you with any number of Windows/Firefox user agent strings, and you can use the add-on to send the user agent of your choice when connecting to your banking site.

As an example, here's my user agent from Firefox on Windows 7.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0
