For the last couple of months, the appearance of the main Google website
on SeaMonkey has been different from what it has been for years. Search
results are presented in individual boxes, and the website just looks
strange.
I've done some troubleshooting and here is what I've observed:
1. When entering google.com on Firefox v86.0.1, the site appears normal.
2. When entering google.com on SeaMonkey v2.53.5.1, the site has the
strange appearance described above. The site address showing in the
title box is https://www.google.com/#spf=1616331365185 even though only
https://www.google.com was entered.
3. If I change the SeaMonkey user agent to Firefox 86.0(Using the
PrefBar extension) and reload the page, the appearance returns to
normal, even though #spf=1616331987062 is still at the end of the site
address.
4. Removing #spf=1616331987062 and reloading the page make the site work
correctly.
5. Changing the user agent back to Real UA and reloading the page again
causes the strange appearance and the site address goes back to
https://www.google.com/#spf=1616332459516
This is another example of a website which works differently with
SeaMonkey than it does with Firefox. Changing the user agent string is a
workaround, but why should this be required?
