+===== Enable HTML5 video player on BBC website =====
+For whatever reason, the BBC website defaults to flash for videos and displays an error message to install it when disabled, even though they have a usable HTML5 player they use for mobile devices. So, desktop browsers will have to pretend to be a mobile by changing the User-Agent string. Firefox removed options for site-specific strings, but addons are available to do this\\

+Set the user agent to the following and limit it to the BBC News website
