*especially! Spoof user agent if you have to.

if you spoof your user-agent it won't help Firefox in metrics, since websites will think you're other browser.

Nono, the other way round. Visit it with chrome and spoof a firefox user agent, so it looks like you used firefox, while you can still use the website.
