As I indicated earlier in this thread, I was a customer of a bank that
rejected
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:8.0.1) Gecko/20111121
Firefox/8.0.1 SeaMonkey/2.5
because it had more than "Firefox/8.0.1" in the UA string. All other
financial institutions where I had online accounts allowed
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:8.0.1) Gecko/20111121
SeaMonkey/2.5
without any spoofing of Firefox.
For the one bank, I used PrefBar to spoof with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/8.0 (not really)
Somehow, the "(not really)" was acceptable.
