Have you tried checking the checkbox? Your comment indicate the answer
is "No".
I just now checked the checkbox (which I normally leave unchecked). The
result is the following UA string:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:7.0) Gecko/20110923
Firefox/7.0 SeaMonkey/2.4
NOTE CAREFULLY: It's advertising compatibility with Firefox 7.0, not 2.0.
I much prefer
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:7.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/7.0 (not really)
or (better)
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:7.0) Gecko/20110923
SeaMonkey/2.4, NOT Firefox/7.0

Anyone who thinks government owns a monopoly on inefficient, obstructive
bureaucracy has obviously never worked for a large corporation.
