I am not saying you shouldn't change it if you want to. I have prefs bar and I change it myself sometimes. I can't remember why. I am just saying that the point of the User Agent String is to identify the user agent. So the default setting should be Seamonkey, because that's what it is. If the web authors can't be bothered to check it properly it is their fault, not the fault of the browser. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
