One reason for switching to Firefox is that too many websites do not

Just open about:config in the URLbar
filter for general.useragent.override

Uh-oh. Please don't use .override but .extra, that messes less with what SeaMonkey does internally.

Adjusted instructions:
1) Type about:config in the URLbar, press enter and acknowledge the
   prompt coming up.
2) Enter "useragent" in the "Filter" field, right click on any
   "general.useragent.override" line if existing and select "Reset"
3) Right-click in the list and select "New > String", enter
   "general.useragent.extra.notfirefox" as the preference name and
   "NOT Firefox/3.5" as the value.

You can then check on a page such as http://dev.seamonkey.at/?d=d&m=c that your browser is still detected as SeaMonkey by intelligent sites but your "Full user agent string" now contains that part with Firefox in it.

Most pages that are discriminating and block out users whose skin, er, user agent they don't know, should now let you in.
