That check box does not appear in my version of SM 2.12.1. While I can press "Enter" after entering the password and get into the site, there are many other check boxes that do not appear making it useless to go any further. Is there a SM version that is equivalent to FF 15.0.1?According to your User Agent, you are using it. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:15.0) Gecko/20120909 Firefox/15.0.1 SeaMonkey/2.12.1No, I am not using Firefox 15.01.1. I am using SM 2.12.1 to compose this message and to log into www.wherever.tv While the UA does have Firefox/15.0.1 in it, it is not what I'm using.What you -- and many Web developers -- fail to understand is that Firefox and SeaMonkey both have the same Gecko and Toolkit core components. These components handle the rendering of Web pages, interfacing with the Internet, negotiating logins and other security, etc. The only difference between SeaMonkey and Firefox with respect to the Web is the user interface such as menus, buttons, and profiles. If you have SeaMonkey 2.12.1, you have the same Web-browsing capabilities as Firefox 15.0.1. Yes, SeaMonkey also includes a mail-news feature and a Web page composer that are lacking in Firefox. But those do not relate to browsing the Web.
What I'm finding with increasing frequency is that we now seem to have another UA sniffing problem - some sites I navigate to will not work with "advertise Firefox compatibility" enabled, but if I turn it off and use the basic SM UA string the site will display just fine.
I've set up my User Agent Switcher addon to be able to easily toggle between the two from my Taskbar. If I run across an example of this in the near term I'll post the link, but when I encounter a problem displaying a site this has now become the first thing I try.
