Actually, both of you (EE and Gallagher) have indeed spoofed (faked)
Firefox 41.0 to be your user agent. Your user agent strings are

Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0 SeaMonkey/2.38
and
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/41.0 SeaMonkey/2.38
respectively. That is how "Advertise Firefox compatibility" works.
I disabled that capability, so my user agent is
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101
SeaMonkey/2.38
without any mention of Firefox.
You're right, of course, but I'm sure neither of us made any special
effort to do so. Those are the default UA strings nowadays unless the
user intentionally disables "Advertise Firefox compatibility" as you have.
As for the OP "BL," his UA string also advertises Firefox compatibility:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/41.0 SeaMonkey/2.38
(same as mine), so he shouldn't be having a problem unless the web
designer is using a bad sniffer.
Maybe "BL" solved his problem, is busy and hasn't seen the replies, or
just doesn't want to respond for some reason.
The <http://www.randwick.nsw.gov.au/> site works just fine in my SeaMonkey.
A link to the site "BL" is having the problem with would be helpful.
