User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.49.2
Build ID: 20180205075051
Steps to reproduce:
Some sites blocks plugins for Seamonkey 2.49 with general.useragent.compatMode.firefox set to true (default).
Reason: problematic sites idenfied SM as FF52 (not FF52esr) and try use webextention instead NPAPI-plugin.
Actual results:
Not working NPAPI-plugins (site mistake) and not working webextention (absent in browser).
Workaroud: disable general.useragent.compatMode.firefox, but site may still broken (bad support for non-popular browsers).
Expected results:
SM should identify itself as FF52esr or as FF51 - this should trigger "plugin-way" on site.

When advertizing Fx compatibility we are basically using the same user agent string as Firefox 52ESR just with SeaMonkey appended. A special 52ESR user agent string does not exist.
I suggest you use a user agent switcher for problematic sites like google. Changing the UA may fix one site and break another. Some sites also use the version to identify supported browsers so we can't / won't backlevel.
