Ant, when I was using SM 2.0.x, I just used the word "Firefox" in my UA,
I found that was enough to fool the websites that look at the UA.

Try, in the address bar, "about:config", and if you accept the risk, then
in the filter bar enter "useragent", click on the screen somewhere, select
"New"->"String" and call it something like
"general.useragent.extra.seamonkey.firefox" and give it a value of "not
firefox" and you can give it a version number if you want.

Interesting.....even though I have this pref showing in my SM 2.3.3
about:config, my UA doesn't show the "not firefox" at all.

Is this because, at Edit->Preferences->Advanced->HTTP Networking, I have
the "Advertise Firefox compatibility" de-selected?? Or is the pref I
mentioned totally ignored now??

Yes, it is ignored now <https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko_user_agent_string_reference>:
