No, that will only show you the version number. The user agent string
is viewed by selecting [Help > Troubleshooting Information] from the
menu bar. Under "Application Basics", the 6th line begins "User Agent".
The value after that is how your browser identifies itself.
I went to [Edit > Preferences > Advanced > HTTP Networking] and
unchecked the checkbox for "Advertise Firefox compatibility". That
makes my user agent string:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101
SeaMonkey/2.40
If the "Advertise Firefox compatibility" checkbox is checked, I would get:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/43.0 SeaMonkey/2.40
which I find is rarely necessary.

While many tributes to the late Supreme Court Associate Justice
Antonin Scalia now fill the news media, his legacy was not
necessarily positive. See my "What Price Order, Mr. Justice Scalia?"
