Not sure how Unsafe Browser relates to changing your MAC address, but here you go.

Boot TAILS with an administrator password by going to "more options" in the TAILS greeter. WARNING: this lowers your security by making it easier for bad actors to do things like mounting your real hard drive. Therefore, doing this simply isn't recommended. Just reboot to change MAC. However, if you must do this, open a terminal, and type these commands

sudo ifconfig eth0 down
sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:00
sudo ifconfig eth0 up

Remember to change eth0 with the network interface you're using, and 00:00:00:00:00:00 to your desired MAC address. Also note that I haven't tried this specifically with TAILS, but it's the standard way to do it on Linux. YMMV.
