It should not be necessary to spoof firefox.
You're right that it should not, but in many cases it unfortunately is.
You can turn it off in preferences, though - but be prepared to
encounter broken websites then.
I have left it on - and some sites that usually give warnings do not do so
now.
I use the extension User Agent Switcher and spoof all the time. I like the
extension so much (also use it on Fx and have it spoof as IE or Chrome -
there are long lists of browser versions you can download and then choose
from) that I have postponed upgrading SM to 2.6. When I went to upgrade I
was informed that User Agent Switcher was incompatible with 2.6. So, I did
not upgrade (although MR Tech Toolkit works fine even though SM says it
doesn't). I could use MR Tech to override any incompatibilities with User
Agent Switcher but I intensely dislike all the rush-rush, update, update
anyway so I will just wait for a new version of User Agent Switcher before
updating SM.
User Agent Switcher works fine, even with SeaMonkey 2.9a1, I used it a
few minutes ago. It officially supports up to SeaMonkey 2.5.*, but with
the new "Default to Compatible" feature (turned on by default in the
latest nightlies) it is not even listed as incompatible.
To use it with Sm 2.6, either install the Add-on Compatibility Reporter
extension, or set extensions.checkCompatibility.2.6 to false in
about:config, but beware that by doing that you take up the
responsability of disabling misbehaving extensions manually.
However, with the "Advertise Firefox compatibility" feature, there are
much fewer sites which require user-agent spoofing.
Best regards,
Tony.
