When on the USPS using SeaMonkey, I get this message:

I guess years of using the Mozilla Browser, and then SeaMonkey
are about to come to an end. I loved the idea of it and have
been a loyal user for about 15 years, but now I guess I need
to switch to FireFox. It's just a pain in the neck to keep
switching between browsers for certain websites. I like having
one browser for everything.
Just wanted to let the group know that I found myself totally
unable to complete a customs form on the USPS website on
Monday. I wound up having to physically fill one out at the
local post office to get my package sent.
This is impacting more that SeaMonkey, I was unable to do so
with the CURRENT FireFox and Google Chrome either here on my
linux mint 18.3 x64 system! I can only assume that their
snooping is not happy with linux browsers.
I assume that at some point I could spoof a user agent string
that will make USPS happy, but this is getting ridiculous when
current releases of major browsers are not being supported
simply because they are linux releases.

For what it's worth, my UA string for USPS is spoofed as
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/59.0
and when the same (red) message appears I click on "Read more" and
it tells me I am virtuous and everything is ducky. No functional
problems, but I haven't tried to do much on USPS lately.
Logged into my account using the string:
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.49.4
On the line that says they are not going to support out of
date browsers, I clicked on the "read more" line and got:
Good news — your browser is
up to date.
You can continue to access all USPS.com
features with your current browser version.
Thank you for using USPS.com!
So it looks like
they DO support SeaMonkey.
