Another option is to type in the address bar:
about:config
then right click on an entry and select New, String and
in the first box enter:
general.useragent.extra.xfake
change the xfake to anything you like

Can someone help enlighten me on how the above works as I would have
assumed that the way to deal with it would have been to replace the
"Seamonkey" string with the firefox string.
While I have been using user agent switcher for a long time, the need to
spoof firefox has gotten so common, I need a default fix.
There appears to be no option in user agent switcher to set the
"default" other than by using about:config so, since it reverts to
"default" for each session, need to get educated.
Thanks in advance,

Manually setting preference variables to spoof Firefox permanently will
cause server logs to report the use of Firefox for ALL Web sites you
visit. In the end, if this practice becomes widespread, it will cause
Web developers to think NO ONE is using SeaMonkey.
It is much better to use PrefBar or UserAgentSwitcher. These provide
easy ways to spoof Firefox when necessary and then revert back to not
spoofing.
It's more simple to spoof everytime ... because we don't know when the
spoof is needed.
