Not in the case of maps.google.com, where the sidebar cannot be hidden
in iceweasel, can in firefox.

FWIW, I got from the README.Debian to #354622, but I was unable to from
there figure out how to quickly and easily change the user agent.

A more prominent thing might be a hyperlink directly to the relevant
about:config setting from the default start page .. or a pre-installed
user agent switcher that has firefox in it as an option. I think that
something like that would go a certian distance to making it accessible
to users, though it would still be a bother.
