You simply need to use a different user agent string when going to chase.com.  Add 
this to your prefs.js:


user_pref("general.useragent.override.chase.com", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; 
Win64; x64; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/50.0");


Since I have a new Chase card I figured I should fix this sooner rather than 
later.

Trying a user.js didn't work.

prefs.js didn't wish to be changed...tried both Windows 7 Notepad and DOS Edit, but 
evidently didn't know the right save options, because after running SM the new entry 
disappeared. Rejected by SM, I suppose.


Cutting to the chase (pun serendipitous): Creating a new entry in about:config by 
manually copying/pasting strings from Ed Mullen's example did work.


To create a new entry in about:config you right-click on any entry and tell it you 
want a new string entry. Give it the name "general.useragent.override.chase.com" and 
the value "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 
Firefox/50.0".

Ed,

This reply is the only one that worked for me - that is, once I figured 
out how to save to DOS in Wordpad that I almost never use. Thank you!


I also appreciate the other suggestions to change my primary bank are 
not viable for me for the simple reason that the Chase branch bank that 
I have been using for 48 years (through it's many predecessor name 
permutations) is less than a minute's walk away from my apartment.


Thanks, all!

Never add anything to prefs.js if you're not 200% certain you know what you are
doing and how to undo the damage from a mistake. Either include it in user.js,
or include via about:config. User.js is an optional file that SM will only read,
never write.

I created a separate SeaMonkey profile just for use with those financial
institutions where I have accounts:  a medium-size regional bank, two
credit unions, the issuer of my wife's Master Card, and Vanguard Group.
Among the settings in that profile that are different from those in my
general-use profile are:
*  popups are enabled
*  images from all sources are enabled
*  Flash and HTML5 media are enabled
*  new and updated cookies from domains that have already set cookies
are accepted
*  the cookies.sqlite file is marked "read-write" (but is marked "read
only" in all my other profiles)
*  an anti-tracking extension is not installed (but is installed in my
general-use profile)

For a long time, I also forced the user agent (UA) to spoof Firefox.
Later, I changed that to enable "Advertise Firefox compatibility".
After much hounding by me, all five institutions now accept all my
logins and transactions with "Advertise Firefox compatibility" disabled,
with one exception.  The exception is the occasional Webcast from
Vanguard, which still requires me to spoof Firefox.

Part of all this supports the suggestion expressed by others for using a
small, local bank instead of a mega-bank.  You have more leverage in
getting a small bank to accommodate you than with a large bank.
