SeaMonkey uses the same Gecko core and associated components as Firefox,
allowing for some slight version differences when releases of the
browsers are not synchronized. Gecko and its associated components
handle interfacing with the Internet, negotiating secure sessions,
rendering Web pages, etc. As browsers, SeaMonkey and Firefox differ
only in their user interface (e.g., menubar, toolbars) and in their user
agent strings.
Since Gecko and associated components are the same between SeaMonkey and
Firefox and since the user Interface would not affect how a Web site is
accessed or displayed, the obvious conclusion is that your problem
relates to different user agent strings. That is, yours is a problem
with sniffing.
Have you checked to see if you do indeed allow a string in the form of
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.11)
Gecko/20100701 SeaMonkey/2.0.6
For Firefox, do you check for "Firefox" or for "Gecko"?
