For me, the easiest way to spoof other browsers is via the PrefBar
extension from
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/prefbar/>.  It has a
User Agent menulist for selecting the user agent (UA) string for what
other browser you want to spoof.  If you forget to restore the SeaMonkey
UA string, this is done automatically when you terminate and then
relaunch SeaMonkey.

The only problem is that the UA strings do not update automatically.
About once a month or two, I check the UA strings seen in visits to my
own Web site via a tool provided by my Web host.  From that, I manually
update the UA strings in PrefBar's User Agent menulist.
