I would definitely NOT spoof permanently.  Permanent spoofing tells the
Web site developers that everything is okay when that is not true.
Then, when someone complains that their site does not work with
SeaMonkey, they say that no one uses SeaMonkey to access their site.

Install an extension for spoofing.  There are several.  They have an
editable list of browsers whose user agent strings you can select,
including returning to your actual browser's string (turning off
spoofing).  They also automatically turn off spoofing when you terminate
SeaMonkey.  One popular extension for spoofing is User Agent Switcher at
<http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/>.  I prefer PrefBar
at <http://prefbar.mozdev.org/> because of its other features unrelated
to spoofing.

Go to Mozdev at <http://www.mozdev.org/> for quick access to
extensions for Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and other
Mozilla-related applications.  You can access Mozdev much
more quickly than you can Mozilla Add-Ons.
