Clicking on "Read More" at USPS still gives me the warning about an outdated browser for Fx but using SeaMonkey and Basilisk I get Congratulations your browser is up to date. User Agent Switcher is currently being rewritten for WebE and there is no updated list of user agents that includes Fx 59 in the XUL version I use on Fx 52. You'd think the USPS would not be insulting Enterprise Fx 52 users as Fx 52 ESR is supported by Mozilla through Aug 2018 (internal push of ver 62 will not occur until Aug 29) so they are jumping the gun in removing support in April. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

That way you'll still be reporting as SeaMonkey on all other sites which
is good as it lets site owners know about SeaMoney.

First string doesn't work, second does, here.
The Firefox browser works here. Y'all enjoy your problems.
Sure, everybody knows Firefox is where all the cool kids are. All those folks doing
their best to steer clear must just be nuts.
For anyone wanting a simple mechanism for fixing Seamonkey's UA string problems, here
is what the user.js file in my Profiles\[config_name].default directory now looks like:
user_pref("00_user.js.loaded", "user.js load failed");
# user_pref("general.useragent.override.chase.com", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0;
Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0");
user_pref("00_user.js.loaded", "yes");
1st and last lines are per David Ross, to whom thanks.
No line break in the UA string for line 2. The '#' at the beginning of line 2
comments out the rest of the line (eg, won't be executed, because it has already run
successfully). User.js is run every time Seamonkey starts, and you can verify this by
going to about:config. The first item will normally be "00_user.js.loaded" set to
yes, meaning that your user.js was seen. With no line 2, or with line 2 commented
out, nothing is actually added to prefs.js, and that's OK, it does no harm run
"empty" and it gives you a permanent template in place ready for the next annoying
website.
When you have an un-commented out line 2 such as:
user_pref("general.useragent.override.chase.com", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0;
Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0");
where the chase.com can be replaced with any name of any other website giving you
problems, that site will thereafter see only what you want them to see.
