It used to be in SM 1.1.18 that I could spoof IE or Firefox (or even
permanently change the User-Agent in the config file).  But now the
Tools menu doesn't even have a temporary spoofing option.  Any work
around for this with SM 2.0?  Could somebody walk me through the
procedure of modifying the configuration file if that's the best fix?

I did report this problem to the SM project.

Here's the message I get which freezes my browser&  doesn't even allow
the "Back" button to operate:

  The browser you are using is not currently supported by Wachovia Online
BillPay. For best results and to ensure accuracy, we recommend you use
one of the following supported browsers:

     * Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 (download for Windows Vista and XP)
     * Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 (download for Windows XP)
     * Firefox 3 (download for Windows Vista and XP)
     * Apple Safari 4 (download for Mac OS X 10.5.x)

I've been using Wachovia BillPay for years, first with the Mozilla suite
and then with SeaMonkey, and I've never seen that message. And I don't
spoof my UA.

Currently on SM 1.1.16, but if that was fine for you and you lost access
after you upgraded, I'll hold off.

On Suntrust they redesigned their website several years, and had their browser sniffer to Not accept mozilla site. Curiously only the Bill pay section was affected. I raised holy heck and they changed the sniffer, bit only for Firefox. I riased Holy heck again but they refused to change the code. so I looked for alternative Because UA switcher hadn't been updated and it was pain to re-download the ua strings I ran across the addition of the /not/Firefox/2.0. If we had a way to report to Mozilla/Firefox/SeaMonkey about these intransigent companies. Maybe mozilla could get in touch with the folks to get rid of Browser sniffers or have the key on gecko would help every one tremendously.
