When on the USPS using SeaMonkey, I get this message:

I guess years of using the Mozilla Browser, and then SeaMonkey are about to come
to an end. I loved the idea of it and have been a loyal user for about 15 years,
but now I guess I need to switch to FireFox. It's just a pain in the neck to keep
switching between browsers for certain websites. I like having one browser for
everything.
Just wanted to let the group know that I found myself totally unable to complete a
customs form on the USPS website on Monday. I wound up having to physically fill
one out at the local post office to get my package sent.
This is impacting more that SeaMonkey, I was unable to do so with the CURRENT
FireFox and Google Chrome either here on my linux mint 18.3 x64 system! I can
only assume that their snooping is not happy with linux browsers.
I assume that at some point I could spoof a user agent string that will make USPS
happy, but this is getting ridiculous when current releases of major browsers are
not being supported simply because they are linux releases.

For what it's worth, my UA string for USPS is spoofed as
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
and when the same (red) message appears I click on "Read more" and it tells me I am
virtuous and everything is ducky. No functional problems, but I haven't tried to do
much on USPS lately.
Logged into my account using the string:
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101
SeaMonkey/2.49.4
On the line that says they are not going to support out of date browsers, I clicked
on the "read more" line and got:
Good news — your browser is up to date.
You can continue to access all USPS.com features with your current browser
version.
Thank you for using USPS.com!
So it looks like they DO support SeaMonkey.

Sneaky or honest, whatever gets you in. I'm not a strict constructionist when it
comes to UA strings.
