Ok, let's see what kind of responses you get.
Nothing so far as I expected. :(
I also saw a couple of other people's posts and support replied that
SeaMonkey is unsupported which is bad:

Not much help there. "However, the current version of Firefox DOES
support the new Hotmail. " That's a misplaced statement; it should read
"the current version of Hotmail refuses Firefox older than 3.0." and
refuses SeaMonkey, and refuses every browser except a select few... you
get the picture.
All it would take would be for a Microsoftie to add a few more strings
to the sniffer JavaScript. Should take five minutes .. *if* you could
find a responsible person in Redmond.
No kidding. I see this all the time with a lot of Web sites. I have to
refer them to http://www.rossde.com/internet/Webdevelopers.html#sniff
that David E. Ross shared on 6/27/2010 in this newsgroup. I actually
sent one to ranker.com's web team since they said they didn't support
SeaMonkey v2.
It's like you calling up your ISP asking for email config help with
SeaMonkey or Thunderbird or Eudora or ... you get the stock answer "we
only support Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail." But naturally, any
email client will work .. they just don't have scripts for them.
We need to fight them to support SM v2!
..or "support no specific browser; use 'em all!"
Try adding the string "NOT Firefox 3.6.8" to your useragent setting.
Haha. Clever.
