I don't know where the advertise FireFox compatability switch

HTH
sorta useless until there's a way to quit advertizing
"compatibility" of
Firefox 2.0
sean
To "quit advertizing "compatibility" of Firefox 2.0" simply untick the
spot on the HTTP Networking page.
QED!
well duh... guess i need to be more specific... why does SM still
advertize compatibility of Firefox 2.0 ... when Firefox is now at
version 6,7 or 8?
to date i haven't found an about:config entry to advertize the latest
Firefox versions... as opposed to the ancient versions...
iiuc,
sean
your seamonkey advertizes Firefox/7.0 :
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:7.0) Gecko/20110922 Firefox/7.0
SeaMonkey/2.4
sorry all... my old eyes... misreading 7
plus confusion as i attempt to install certain addons which have given
me an error which reads "this isn't available for firefox 2.x"
sean
You are a victim of bug #671085. See
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671085>.
Effectively, a user agent string in the form of
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:7.0) Gecko/20110923
Firefox/7.0 SeaMonkey/2.4
is parsed by the addons.mozilla.org server as if your browser were
Firefox 2.4. As I recall, this problem was forecast when it was decided
to add the "advertise Firefox compatibility" feature to SeaMonkey, but
that forecast was pooh-poohed.
This is why I disabled "advertise Firefox compatibility". I use
PrefBar's User Agent capability when I need to spoof a browser other
than SeaMonkey.
i knew it... see i'm not losing my mind... even as much as i'd like to
some days...

It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
