It has been widely reported that chase.com will no longer allow access

The workaround has been to use the User Agent spoofing function of
PrefBar to tell the site Firefox is being used.
This works, but only up to a point. I can login, look at account
balances, download activity, and pay bills for existing payees.
But in the Manage Payees area, I needed to delete one payee and edit the
information for another. Clicking on the appropriate buttons for these
functions did NOT work.
I logged out and closed SeaMonkey, then started Firefox v48 and logged
into the site again. This time, the functions in question worked correctly.
Bottom line: Even though you can spoof the browser identity to access
the website, there is some difference between SeaMonkey and Firefox
which prevents SeaMonkey from being totally functional at chase.com
Since there could also be other issues that might not be obvious, I am
reluctant to continue using SeaMonkey to access this site. :-(

No, this will not solve your problem with Chase; but it might help you
avoid this problem.
My father owned an independent furniture store. His inventory came from
local manufacturers and from local representatives of non-local
manufacturers. He did not need the services of a mega-bank. Instead,
he always used a small, local bank. He said that he wanted to bank
where the employees -- especially the branch manager -- recognized him
and knew him by name. This was all before the advent of the Internet.
Today, I bank at a small, local bank. I also have an account at a
credit union. I have no problems doing online banking through SeaMonkey
with either institution. Traveling in Europe, I had no problem using my
credit union's Visa card; and my wife had no problem using our bank's
Master Card.
I suggest that, if you do not use all the services of Chase, change banks.
You assume too much. Chase is the LOWEST FIXED credit card interest
rate of all banks I have cards from or have looked at. Plus, I have a
HIGH credit limit at Chase on my Slate card. Certainly, no local credit
union would offer anything like Chase even with my 822 FICO score.
Local credit unions offer dinky credit cards and NONE offer FIXED rate.
I have three local credit cards from local banks. My Chase non local
card is the only one with a very low FIXED interest rate and three times
higher credit limit than my local cards.
So, it is a matter of what bank offers the best card and that is never a
local credit union in my experience and I do belong to the highest rated
credit union here since the early 70's.
As for faking the UA, I do that with User Agent Switcher and fake as Fx
40. Chase is perfectly happy then and I haven't found anything I can't
do using SeaMonkey at Chaseonline but maybe I will find something
esoteric some day. I avoid paying bills the way notme does (as it is
too iffy) so maybe that would not work for me either, I don't know. But
what I do need to do at Chaseonline, since Chase first started their
online banking many years ago, I can do just fine on SeaMonkey. It is
scary though that Chase is so ignorant and makes it so easy to fake
another browser as the acceptable Fx. They allow all the way back to
Fx16! Yet get upset at SeaMonkey 2.40. (Plus, they are so backward
how they handle not recognizing your computer each time).
