    Hi all,

    I read somewhere here about spoofing the SeaMonkey gecko engine(?) to reflect FF because websites look at that when loading pages. I "think" that's what I read.

    There's quite a few sites that are a pain because they don't load correctly with SM, yet they do with FF and IE.

    I think I remember seeing it in one of the .js files, but I just don't remember where.

    Any ideas?

    Hi Tony,

    Sorry for the delayed response.

    I have written dozens of e-mails to web masters, site owners and everyone else I could think of over the years and, so far, none have responded: SeaMonkey still doesn't render properly.

    And, thank you for the link, but it doesn't say what to change the user.agent to.

    Plus, the sites that I write to list every flavor of IE, NS (even 4.x) Opera, Safari, Omni, et al.

    So, if their sites are compatible with NS 4.x, why not SeaMonkey?
