Read Paid "Members-Only" Content for Free with Firefox

Have you ever come across articles on the web and were told to pay a fee to continue reading? This might be a way for you to bypass that, and read contents meant for “members only”.
According to Tech-Recipes.com, you only need to have Firefox browser and an extra extension (Agent Switcher). With this extension, you can act as if you’re a search engine bot and access the restricted site, just with some tweaking.
Full description of the method is described here: LINK
It has been tested on windowsitpro.com and it worked! However, it may not work in every other sites as some of them did not allow entire site access to search engine bots.
