First of all the latest SeaMonkey UA string is:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
I have the 32-bit version but the important thing here is the latest
SeaMonkey is based on the ESR version of Firefox not the Quantum version
so your modified UA should have been:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
That said, although SeaMonkey supports HTML5 I think the issue is
Silverlight. In Windows it works if you have Silverlight installed. I
confirmed this; if I disable Silverlight plugin Netflix no longer works
in Windows with SeaMonkey using the modified UA. Only works when
Silverlight is enabled AND I remove the "SeaMonkey" part of the UA.
Netflix will not work on my Ubuntu laptop with SeaMonkey. Now in the
past I had installed Silverlight back with the Pipelight hack that uses
Wine to load the Silverlight plugin. It worked but was a bit of a kludge.
Now Netflix works no problem on Linux with Firefox. So to be honest I
would just use Firefox when using Netflix.
Just tested and Chrome also works. That's Chrome, not Chromium. I don't
know if Chromium works. I have Chrome because Chromium did not work to
cast to my Chromecast whereas the Google Chrome version did on Linux.
