The last one is the most confusing me.
How Seamonkey introduses itself to web-servers and how can I change
it any way?
Is it possible to masqarade SM as Firefox?

See <http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=418303>
The WhatsApp page is sufficiently idiotic that, as well as masking
your SeaMonkey-ness behind Firefox, you have uncheck 'Advertise
Lightning compatibility' in Preferences>Advanced>HTTP Networking; see
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1275679>.
If pages (eg GitHub) include a pointless browser compatibility
warning, you can use user JS or CSS (directly, or through NoScript
surrogates or Stylish) to hide it.
If the user-agent is the problem, why not just put a user-agent override
for the specific site into about:config? For example:
general.useragent.override.get.adobe.com/flashplayer set to Mozilla/5.0
(Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Browser sniffing has been reported to be done in several different ways,
which if still true means that useragent is not a fix-all solution, but
it does help sometimes.
