I unchecked the checkbox for that and disabled the feature. Thus, my UA
string is
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:7.0) Gecko/20110923 SeaMonkey/2.4
The problem does not happen if I check the checkbox and enable the
feature. Then, my UA string is
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:7.0) Gecko/20110923 Firefox/7.0
SeaMonkey/2.4
I am aging like a cheese and not like a wine. That is, I am getting
sharper (not mentally in my attitude) and not mellower. Thus, I want to
find cases of invalid sniffing and complain to Web site owners about it.
