Actually, the opposite. Most UA sniffing is NOT looking for SeaMonkey:
It's looking for Firefox or IE. So, what I'm saying is that
incorporating the mention of Firefox in the standard UA for SM the
sniffer should be satisfied.



So they will say that no-one uses SM!!


If they look at their Web host provided logs they'll most likely see
SeaMonkey listed.

Why SM 2.1.x spoof itself by default firefox then ?

This change is being made to avoid the problems cited at the start of
this thread. This was imposed by changing the Gecko core or another
core-like component that is required by SeaMonkey. The change is
optional with the default to spoof Firefox. The option is
controlled by
a preference variable that can be set in the user.js file or via
about:config in the browser.

It is my understanding that Robert Kaiser (SeaMonkey guru) was not
happy
about this change. If my understanding is wrong, I hope Kaiser will
correct me.


...I'm not happy and I hope that Robert isn't either and is able to do
something about this improvement. I'd far more prefer the actual SM
default, and an interfaced, drop-down listed set of UA strings like is
built into Safari Developer Tools.


A drop-down selection list of UA strings for spoofing is available from
either the PrefBar or UserAgentSwitcher extensions. These both have the
feature that your actual UA string is restored when you exit the
browser
in case you forget that you were spoofing some other browser.


Yes, which is great. But if SM is now going to make your default
something other than the truth anyway?..well, I'd rather just see that
left out and User Agent Switcher built in.


The feature is not yet in a final version of SeaMonkey. When it is, I
plan to set the preference variable to not spoof Firefox. I want to see
which Web sites are problematical. The problem is that I cannot
remember what is the name of the variable.


You don't have to David. It's in SM2.1b2pre's Preferences --
Edit  Preferences  Advanced  HTTP_Networking  User_Agent_String 
Advertise_Firefox_compatibility [checkbox] toggle it on or off as
desired
HTH, Barry.


That's a very good implementation  so we can spoof only when we need it.

 Spoof your browser - I use this plugin:

This change is being made to avoid the problems cited at the start of
this thread.  This was imposed by changing the Gecko core or another
core-like component that is required by SeaMonkey.  The change is
optional with the default to spoof Firefox.  The option is controlled by
a preference variable that can be set in the user.js file or via
about:config in the browser.

It is my understanding that Robert Kaiser (SeaMonkey guru) was not happy
about this change.  If my understanding is wrong, I hope Kaiser will
correct me.



...I'm not happy and I hope that Robert isn't either and is able to do 
something about this improvement.  I'd far more prefer the actual SM 
default, and an interfaced, drop-down listed set of UA strings like is 
built into Safari Developer Tools.

That is not, strictly, spoofing the UA.  It is a new UA that includes 
a mention of Firefox that, hopefully, will satisfy ignorant Web site 
devs' UA sniffing techniques and pass SeaMonkey as Firefox while still 
maintaining the integrity of the SeaMonkey UA. See?  The UA includes 
both Firefox and SeaMonkey?


When I get a chance I'll check my server logs to see if it's working ... 
but, it makes sense as a least-destructive solution to me at this point.

A drop-down selection list of UA strings for spoofing is available from
either the PrefBar or UserAgentSwitcher extensions.  These both have the
feature that your actual UA string is restored when you exit the browser
in case you forget that you were spoofing some other browser.

Contacts with Web site owners regarding these bugs should indeed be
noted in the bug reports.  I know that I place comments in the bug
reports I submit about such contacts that I make.  I also occasionally
review all of my Tech Evangelism bug reports to see if any can be closed.

All this may be obviated by the fact that the default in SeaMonkey 2.1
will be to spoof Firefox.  Of course, that will hide the fact that
SeaMonkey is in use and lead Web developers to ignore SeaMonkey.

Not really - I generally spoof as Safari or IE if I encounter a sniffing

The code in SeaMonkey is NOT the code of Firefox.  The user interfaces
of these two are different, which is the main reason I use SeaMonkey and
not Firefox.

Soon, Firefox will do away with facilitating the use of multiple
profiles and with the status bar at the bottom of the browser window.
I'm hoping multiple profiles remain in SeaMonkey.  I've been informed
that the status bar will definitely remain.

What is common between the two is the use of the Gecko core and certain
other core-like components.  It is the Gecko core that displays Web
pages.  Thus, both FireFox and SeaMonkey should identify themselves as
Gecko.  Oops, they already do.

The problem is with Web developers who setup servers to sniff for
Firefox when they should instead sniff for Gecko -- if they can
really justify sniffing.  A Web page that complies with the W3C
specifications generally should not require sniffing at all.

The User Agent Switcher add-on allows a user to maintain lists of user

is that it always returns to the default string on close of session if

and Seamonkey from this site?

http://www.coupons.com/

What clowns would write such inadequate code anyhow?

My wife would like access to them and I don't allow
anything from the virus-honeypot that is MS to connect
to the Internet here.



Spoof your browser - I use this plugin:

http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/

The site displays just fine if you use this to tell it it's one that it 
wants.  More info on User Agent strings here:

Handy reference to copy/paste from.  SM can be any browser you wish...
