I was trying to go to G+ and got to a screen that says my browser is no

I thought that SM was supported.
Any workaround?
Get one of the add-ons that changes the User Agent string and pretend you
are Firefox. You could probably use the PrefBar.
Doesn't SM say so by default?
Edit | Preferences | Advanced | HTTP Networking:
User Agent String
[x] Advertise Firefox compatibility
If the OP goes to Help | About SeaMonkey, he should see something like
this, which clearly states "Firefox/23.0":
User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/23.0 SeaMonkey/2.20
Without the pref above enabled, he'll get this:
User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101
SeaMonkey/2.20
The problem seems to be at Google+.
Enabling "Advertise Firefox compatibility" gives the UA string
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/23.0 SeaMonkey/2.20
Spoofing plain Firefox/23 via PrefBar gives the UA string
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/23.0
Neither of those work for accessing Google+. Can anyone who is actually
using Firefox/23 access Google+?
Thanks you gentlemen for your suggestions. However, I had tried all
those suggestions prior to posting.
I agree that the problem appears to be on Google's end of things. Not
long ago, in my job as a computer tech, I was called out to troubleshoot
a printing problem with GMail. User was using IE8 on XP and could not
print but half of the page. She would also get the message I referred to
as well with her IE8.
