Fedora 36: FEDORA-2022-609c83fc75 Moderate: SeaMonkey User-Agent Change

Dist Fedora Esm H88
Keep abreast of Fedora's SeaMonkey upgrade to version 2.53.11, which improves support for contemporary web experiences.
Update to 2.53.11 Default version of Firefox for the User-Agent string has now been changed to 68.0

Summary

SeaMonkey is an all-in-one Internet application suite (previously made

popular by Netscape and Mozilla). It includes an Internet browser,

advanced e-mail, newsgroup and feed client, a calendar, IRC client,

HTML editor and a tool to inspect the DOM for web pages. It is derived

from the application formerly known as Mozilla Application Suite.

Update to 2.53.11 Default version of Firefox for the User-Agent string has now

been changed to 68.0 . This should provide better compatibility with modern

sites. The value can be changed in Preferences-->Advanced-->HTTP Networking .

Besides that, an alternate site-specific override machanism is now activated.

(The idea comes from Waterfox-Classic project). The file ua-update.json in the

application dir is now additionally used for a list of overrides. You can copy

it into your profile and edit if needed (be careful with format.) The

"general.useragent.override.*" way continues to work and takes precedence. The

new mechanism can be toggled by "general.useragent.updates.enabled" prefs (in

about:config).
