I can think of three approaches:

Now I have to go back and retry chromium, because I *swear* it worked
there. I use notes, having stopped trusting my memory since... I forget.

I consider other than [3] kind-of hacks, workarounds rather than solutions.

In any case, thanks for the info, I may or may not use [2] for the moment.


Houw would one permanentlh add notFirefox to the UA string? The default UA string?

We did some experimentation awhile-back, and found that putting the "NOT Firefox" bit after the SeaMonkey/x.y.z string-identifier, didn't always work on some sites. It's probably better-to create a new-field, and then-to simply-add the "NOT Firefox/3.5.3" new-string-identifier, which will appear before the SM version UA identity in the UA-string.

1/ Type"about:config"  in the SeaMonkey's browser URL-bar without
inverted-commas, to raise SeaMonkey's "about:config" options-page.

2/ Left-click on "Preference Name" in the "about:config" window's
 Title-bar, then Right-click to bring up the Preference-Bar menu.

3/ Select menu-item "New", sub-menu"String", to-raise the edit-box.

4/ Enter a new preference-name "general.useragent.extra.notfirefox"
without the inverted-commas, and click "OK".

Options:
5a/ For SeaMonkey-1.x.x, Enter the new string-value
"NOT Firefox/3.0", without the inverted-commas, and click "OK".
5b/ For SeaMonkey-2.x.x, Enter the new string-value
"NOT Firefox/3.5.3", without the inverted-commas, and click "OK".

6/ Close and restart SeaMonkey, and then try to open the site
you could not use."
