I see that your user agent does not contain a reference to
SeaMonkey:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:45.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0
Anyone here not using or spoofing Firefox able to get through, or
is that the key?
I did have "advertise FF" turned on. I turned it off and still have
no trouble with Xfinity.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101
SeaMonkey/2.51
With SeaMonkey 2.46, I get an error with "Advertise Firefox
compatibility" on (which adds "Firefox/49.0" to the UA string). With
"Advertise Firefox compatibility" off (so it just reports SeaMonkey)
Ed's results are displayed.
You have a newer version of SeaMonkey, which will include a newer
version of Firefox in the UA string with "Advertise Firefox" enabled.
I'd guess that, with "Advertise Firefox" on, speedtest.xfinity.com finds
the Firefox part of the string and uses that to check if it's a recent
version, while without it either goes by the SeaMonkey version or (if it
doesn't recognise SeaMonkey at all) falls back to allowing the page to
be shown.
There do seem to be a number of sites turning up lately which work with
SeaMonkey WITHOUT "Advertise Firefox compatibility", but not WITH it...!
