Aren't there simpler ways to accomplish that than recompiling the browser from source (which, if used by end-users outside of an intranet managed by an IT department, would presumably also require the end-users to download & install the resulting "alternate version" of the browser)? Such as: using Firefox's "general.useragent.override" setting in about:config, or using a Chrome extension or a Firefox add-on.

No need to recompile from source, a hex editor is all you need to change the User-Agent string.
