SeaMonkey 2.40 advertises itself as Firefox 43 compatible. If Firefox 43
works, and Firefox 38 ESR work then SeaMonkey 2.40 should also work.
The new Brave and Vivaldi browsers both display weather.com without a
problem.
Vivaldi's UA string is, Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64)
AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.94 Safari/537.36
Vivaldi/1.1.453.52. If they can sniff Chrome out of that they certainly
should be able to sniff Firefox from SeaMonkey's UA string.
It works in my SeaMonkey 2.46a1 Nightly development version. Mozilla/5.0
(X11; Linux x86_64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0 SeaMonkey/2.46a1
Quoting Ant from his second post in the thread.
I was able to get rid of it in my SM v2.40 (default UA).
He did not explain what (default UA) meant. Did setting it to the
default fix it? The default being Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:43.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0 SeaMonkey/2.40?
My SM's help about shows "User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1;
rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0 SeaMonkey/2.40".
