My default is to disable "Advertise Firefox compatibility". If I have a
problem from that, my first recourse is to use PrefBar to set my user
agent string to
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101
SeaMonkey/2.40, NOT Firefox/45.0
If that does not work, I use PrefBar to revert to my real UA string and
then have PrefBar check the "Advertise Firefox compatibility" checkbox.
And if that does not work, I have PrefBar uncheck that checkbox and set
my user agent string to
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/45.0
"Advertise Firefox compatibility" is not always effective. I have found
Web sites that cannot handle the presence of "SeaMonkey" in the
resulting UA string
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/43.0 SeaMonkey/2.40
I do not know whether the servers are parsing the entire UA string or
merely require "Firefox" to be at the end. I just know that the mere
presence of "SeaMonkey" in the string causes problems at some Web sites.
By the way, when I find an organization's site that is doing incorrect
sniffing, I sometimes send a letter (US Postal System, not E-mail) to
the CEO explaining why they have a broken Web server.

Sarah Palin claims Bill Nye (the "Science Guy") is no more
a scientist than she is. Nye has a Bachelor of Science degree
in mechanical engineering. Palin has degree in communications
with an emphasis on journalism. Somehow, engineering seems to
be more scientific than journalism.
