In edge, I can change the default user agent in Chrome. I can do the following right now:
In Edge, select More Tools->Developer Tools.
In the developer toolbar select More Tools->Network Condition. Note that this is not the same more tools as the last step, that one is on the edge toolbar, this is on the developer toolbar.
On the bottom pane, uncheck use browser default and then add your custom user agent.
However, if you close the browser, the settings goes away. I need to settings retained. If not, a way to change the default user agent would work, too. Reigstry editing is ok.
Note that I cannot use a extension like switch user agent. When I click on a shortcut, it launches Edge to go to a site and the site sees the user agent and changes the UI accordingly. If I click on the shortcut the site is open before the extension changes the user agent, so I need this to occur before the extension activates.

How can I reset default browser devveloper tool display
If you need to reset the dev tools to restore the default in Edge, just follow the steps below:
Open Edge and press F12 to open the dev tools
Press F1 to open the settings panel when focus in dev tools
Scroll the Preference tab to the bottom
Click the option Restore default and refresh
Just like this:
I have Edge 95.0.1020.53, in Win 10 Pro 21H1.
I'm not a techie. For no specific reason, I opened Developer Tools, which I haven't done for about 10 years.
After opening, I saw the configuration that I've seen many times: the parent web page using three-quarters of the complete window was on the left. The tools were in a panel on the right.
After pressing several buttons out of curiosity, I'm unable to get back to my original config, with the current web page on the right, and the tools on the left. The web page is no longer visible The dev tools take up the complete window. I suspect that I might have actually dragged the leftmost edge of Dev Tools all the way to the right of the main window. If I could somehow grab that left edge and drag it to the right, I think my problem would be solved.
In an attempt to restore the "default" config, I restarted my laptop. But if I show Dev Tools, I still get the palette of windows that I opened earlier. The parent web page is not visible.
How can I "reset" the config to its default config?
Thanks.

Since last week, when I right click on Edge taskbar tab to open new tab or new window, it opens a new tab always, instead of opening a different window
This is how it looks.
I checked out all options, but didn't find any such customization. I tried to un-install and re-install the Edge browser, it worked for a while, but once the system restarted, it started same behavior again!
Any idea, how could I change that to open new window when clicking on 'Microsoft Edge' instead of opening a new tab in an existing window?
From your description, I assume that there might be some malicious software hijacking your Edge browser. It locks the homepage of Edge and tampers the shortcut of "Microsoft Edge".
The right behavior of clicking on "Microsoft Edge" should be opening a new window. But I can reproduce your issue with the steps below:
Right click Edge icon on taskbar.
Right click Microsoft Edge then click Properties.
In the Microsoft Edge Properties window, add a webpage url after Target value.
Click Apply, OK to save the changes.
Click Microsoft Edge in taskbar Edge right click menu, it will open the webpage url as a new tab in an existing window.
You can refer to my steps above to check your Edge Target value in Microsoft Edge Properties. Please make sure there's only the path of Edge exe in the Target value. The right value of Target should be like this (your path might be different with mine, below is just an example of mine):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe"
If there's anything else, it's very likely that a malicious software tampers it. Then you should check your computer thoroughly to remove any malicious software and virus.
While trying to upload the content via Google Sheets URL I am getting the following error:
Authentication failure. Parameter: popup_blocked_by_browser
How can I fix this?
Removing blank rows with notes from the sheet resolved the problem.
I turned off pop-up blocking and it worked.
To turn off pop-up blocker, follow these instructions:
Click the Customize and control Google Chrome menu (the three
horizontal bars in the upper right corner)
Select Settings.
Click the Show advanced settings... at the bottom.
Under Privacy, click the Content Settings button.
To disable the pop-up blocker check the Allow all sites to show
pop-ups box.
To enable pop-ups on specific sites, check Do not allow any site to
show pop-ups (recommended) and click Exceptions and enter the
URL(s).
This helped me to resolve this issue
I'm working on a Browser extension/add-on. We have it working in Chrome, so I'm trying to get it working in Firefox.
I've only gotten my extension to load in Firefox Developer Edition 49.0a2 (2016-07-25) (I'm not sure why it doesn't work normally, but have asked elsewhere).
My add-on uses a browser_action to add a button to the toolbar and open a pop-up, which opens fine, but once it's open, it seems impossible to close without quitting Firefox entirely.
In fact, it's so pernicious, the pop-up then appears over other applications!
Is this just a current bug in Firefox, or is there a way for me to fix this?
You might have accidentally clicked the "only close the popup on ESC" button in the firefox debugger, which keeps a popup open until you press Escape. Source: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Debugging#Debugging_popups
IF your browser extension popups (and right-click context menus, bookmark menu etc.) persist and refuse to go away unless you press Esc AND you have the ’Browser Toolbox’ window open—then you have probably left the ‘Disable Popup Auto-Hide’ option enabled. (This setting is only in effect when the Browser Toolbox window is open.)
To disable this setting, go to the Browser Toolbox window (the window title is ‘Developer Tools – Debugging’), then, in the upper right-hand corner, press open the three-dots menu, and uncheck ‘Disable Popup Auto-Hide’. (If checked you get sticky popups/context menus. If unchecked the popup/context menu will close if you click outside it).
Browser Toolbox
NOTE: If your browser menu does not have a ‘More tools > Browser Toolbox’ option, then the Browser Toolbox is disabled, and cannot be causing the sticky popup behavior.
The Browser Toolbox window can be opened through the browser main menu (the little hamburger icon, rightmost in the URL bar of the browser) ‘More tools > Browser Toolbox’ (or Ctrl-Shift-Alt-I).
The Browser Toolbox is disabled by default, so, for the above paragraph to work must first be enabled. To do this click on main menu icon, then ‘More Tools > Web Developer Tools’ (Ctrl-Shift-I), then, in the Developer Tools frame (or window) click the three dots menu icon (top right) and select ‘Settings’.
In the settings, scroll down to the bottom right (under the ‘Advanced settings’) and check the last two options:
[✔️] Enable browser chrome and add-on debugging toolboxes
[✔️] Enable remote debugging
Your browser menu should now contain the ‘More tools > Browser Toolbox’ option. (From the MDN Web Docs ‘Enabling the Browser Toolbox’.)
