That's one that you can get around with browser spoofing.
I just checked, and it complains about default Seamonkey settings.
However, with spoofing, you can get around it. If xfinity sees:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0
I'm having no problems getting through. (For what it's worth, I have no
problems even if I use a UA string that claims that I'm running Firefox
78 on a Mac.)
Two ways of spoofing:
1) Extension -- I use PrefBar, which allows me to do spoofing on demand,
but that spoofs for all sites, including the mail client. Thus for the
message I'm replying to, my use of the Display MUA extension shows that
you composed your message with Firefox 60.
In this context, I know that you're spoofing Firefox 60 for your
browser, but it does look odd when that turns up in your mail.
When I'm spoofing this way, it's normally for one-time things, and I
have to remember to turn off when I'm done. Occasionally, I forget, and
sometimes I see my own messages purporting to have been sent by Firefox.
2) about:config settings .
You can go to about:config, and set general.useragent.override to show
the string you want to show, but as with above, that sets things
globally (and permanently).
You can also do site-specific spoofing. For this, you would want to do
the same thing, by setting
general.useragent.override.internet.xfinity.com with the same value.
That causes spoofing for only that site for browser connections, and
doesn't touch your mail client.
I do exactly this with the main search page at google.com (where there's
an annoying display quirk if Google sees a UA string that includes
"Seamonkey", even if the remainder is a valid Firefox string). I also
do that with a couple of financial institutions that are aggressive
about demanding Firefox. By doing the site-specific spoofing via
about:config, that allows me to spoof for those sites when I go there,
and not have to remember to enable/disable.
