No, that would indicate Firefox is the browser. "Advertise Firefox
compatibility" should indicate both SeaMonkey and Firefox.
Actually, when I use PrefBar's user agent spoofing, my user agent strings is
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101
SeaMonkey/2.40, NOT Firefox/45.0
If I were to enable "Advertise Firefox compatibility", the string would be
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/43.0 SeaMonkey/2.40
Many cases of user agent sniffing merely look for "Firefox" without
considering the rest of the string. It would be better to look for
"Gecko", in which case all this discussion would be moot. Of course,
that would have to change when Gecko is abandoned in favor of Servo; but
that replacement is not yet certain.
