That's also a reason I frequently dispute folks when they say "just set
it to mask as IE and fuggetaboutit." :-/
If the code in seamonkey *is* the code of firefox, it's normal that he
*must* spoof as firefox.
The code in SeaMonkey is NOT the code of Firefox.
Why SM 2.1.x spoof itself by default firefox then ?
This change is being made to avoid the problems cited at the start of
this thread. This was imposed by changing the Gecko core or another
core-like component that is required by SeaMonkey. The change is
optional with the default to spoof Firefox. The option is controlled by
a preference variable that can be set in the user.js file or via
about:config in the browser.
It is my understanding that Robert Kaiser (SeaMonkey guru) was not happy
about this change. If my understanding is wrong, I hope Kaiser will
correct me.
...I'm not happy and I hope that Robert isn't either and is able to do
something about this "improvement". I'd far more prefer the actual SM
default, and an interfaced, drop-down listed set of UA strings like is
built into Safari Developer Tools.
