Opera can be configured to have a toolbar dropdown list that allows you to
select among the following identifications:

        Opera
        Mozilla 5.0
        Mozilla 4.78
        Mozilla 3.0
        MSIE 6.0

If you haven't put the list on the toolbar, then you can access the list
via the preferences menu.
