For this, I might try seeing what happens if you create a different profile, where *all* the settings are default.
If you're still having problems, then my guess is that the bank has a brain-dead method of doing browser sniffing, and where it doesn't like you, based on the User Agent that Seamonkey is presenting.
Thus, the first tweak after going with all defaults would be to enable the setting for Firefox compatibility, as noted elsewhere in this thread.
A step further along that line would be to enable browser spoofing, where you explicitly show a browser string that is known to be acceptable. There's a couple of extensions that will do that. One is PrefsBar, and I use that one, and I forget the name of the other extension.
It's been a couple of years since Seamonkey was adjusted to show a User Agent string that advertises Firefox, and since then, I don't think I've seen any sites that require me to do spoofing. But it's still a problem that web site developers only know "Firefox", rather than Firefox as one implementation among several of the Gecko rendering engine. And at the same time, wanting to minimize the numbers of browsers they support, so as to lessen the development/maintenance effort.
Thus, it's entirely possible that the browser sniffing done at this site was done by a coder that is unusually aggressive about looking for a standard Firefox identifier, and rejecting everything else. I can speculate that the work was done many years previously, when it was a lot more common for developers to assume Internet Explorer as as standard, and acceptance of other browsers was done reluctantly.
