Add this to your prefs.js file with SM closed:
user_pref("general.useragent.override.usps.com", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows
NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/50.0");
That way you'll still be reporting as SeaMonkey on all other sites which
is good as it lets site owners know about SeaMoney.
Actual UA:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.49.2
Using for general.useragent.override.usps.com:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/50.0
or
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
First string doesn't work, second does, here.
The Firefox browser works here. Y'all enjoy your problems.
Sure, everybody knows Firefox is where all the cool kids are. All those folks doing
their best to steer clear must just be nuts.
For anyone wanting a simple mechanism for fixing Seamonkey's UA string problems, here
is what the user.js file in my Profiles\[config_name].default directory now looks like:
user_pref("00_user.js.loaded", "user.js load failed");
# user_pref("general.useragent.override.chase.com", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0;
Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0");
user_pref("00_user.js.loaded", "yes");
1st and last lines are per David Ross, to whom thanks.
No line break in the UA string for line 2. The '#' at the beginning of line 2
comments out the rest of the line (eg, won't be executed, because it has already run
successfully). User.js is run every time Seamonkey starts, and you can verify this by
going to about:config. The first item will normally be "00_user.js.loaded" set to
yes, meaning that your user.js was seen. With no line 2, or with line 2 commented
out, nothing is actually added to prefs.js, and that's OK, it does no harm run
"empty" and it gives you a permanent template in place ready for the next annoying
website.
When you have an un-commented out line 2 such as:
user_pref("general.useragent.override.chase.com", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0;
Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0");
where the chase.com can be replaced with any name of any other website giving you
problems, that site will thereafter see only what you want them to see.
