I have no problem using the Chase web site as long as I tell them I am

This from the Pref Bar site. Is there an option?
"⚠ Please be aware, that PrefBar is no longer maintained! It is not

They most probably don't work well with current versions of SeaMonkey
and they won't install at all on Firefox 57 and above! "
I have been using PrefBar for years, but there are other user agent
switchers available as well. As you see from another post in this
thread you can also create a user.js entry to accomplish this on either
a per site or general basis.
To answer a question you ask in that branch, yes similar entries MIGHT
work at other domains. I say MIGHT as the question then becomes have
they started using features of Firefox that our current level of
SeaMonkey does not yet implement? If so, then the site might not look
the same or in extreme cases might not work right.
So there is no answer to all sites other than to use a browser they
specifically identify as supported by them in the case they actually
make use of features supported only in those browsers. Fortunately in
most cases they are simply being lazy and don't want their "technical
support" people to have to answer questions for any but a handful of
"supported" browsers. In those cases pretending to have that browser
suffices to get by.
