I believe you are a victim of invalid browser sniffing. I get the yellow banner with SeaMonkey 2.0.4 and with spoofing Firefox 3.6.3. But I don't get it with spoofing Internet Explorer 7. See my <http://www.rossde.com/internet/sniffing.html> for suggestions on how to deal with invalid browser sniffing and how to defeat it.
