Good Grief! The only way your SeaMonkey 1.1.X will report that user agent value is if YOU put it in there at some point. The fact that you don't remember doing it doesn't change that fact. The spoofing goes in the Profile. The profile is not shared between SeaMonkey 1.1.X and SeaMonkey 2.X, so the spoofing done in 1.1.X would not have been copied to 2.0 (unless, again, you copied it). As a result, the fact that your installation of SeaMonkey 2.0 is not spoofing itself as FireFox is not a surprise. > > ps... > > When I had Xp and Seamonkey 1.1.18 I was able to get into the Blm > Website . and prior to win7 installation I NEVER installed The Firefox > standalones on this computer . Installing Firefox has nothing to do with having SeaMonkey spoof itself as firefox. Do you still not understand what spoofing is? It was explained to you in a previous post. > > I first went to Blm site Way back in 2002 when I started Research on > my Family History .

SEVEN years before seamonkey 2.0 > was released . Where do you see that? According to your User Agent string above, you spoofed SeaMonkey 1.1.X to report itself as Firefox 2.0.07, not SeaMonkey 2.0. You don't seem to want any help, but rather just want to sling mud at other SeaMonkey users. What's the point in that? Whom do you believe you are helping? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
