Well, you can override the UA by setting "general.useragent.override", so:
- reading that in a temporary variable
- clearing its value (via nsIPrefService.clearUserPref)
- extracting rv: from navigator.userAgent
- restoring the "general.useragent.override" value
should work quite reliably. At least it did suffice for Mnenhy so far...
