Browser Spoofing
My preferred browser is Camino. I use QuickBooks online to do my accounting work. I have to use Internet Explorer to access QuickBooks Online. I don't like having to go to a PC, or using Parallel, or Bootcamp. I would like to see if there is a way to spoof a mac browser so that I can make it immulate Internet explorer.
Can anyone help.

If you do use Safari 3 or above, you can enable the Developer menu from the Advanced pane inside the Preferences. It will allow you to change Safari's User-Agent to IE's too.
However, if the site you want to use have some IE specific codes (e.g. ActiveX Control), that site will still not run in Camino / Firefox / Safari, even if you change the User-Agent of your browser. Wish you good luck.
The User Agent prefpane (http://pimpmycamino.com/parts/user-agent) will allow you to change Camino's User-Agent string into Internet Explorer's. This might make QuickBooks online to believe that you're using IE, not Camino.

Also, Firefox has the User Agent Switcher extension.

There are many in these parts who would love to learn how to immolate IE.

You could try Safari (enable Develop menu) or Firefox with User-agent switching extension..
Or you can use Wine and install Internet Explorer 6 without having to install Windows.
