User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0 SeaMonkey/2.53.10

Steps to reproduce:

I set the User Agent String to "Identify as Firefox" in SeaMonkey 2.53.10.

Actual results:

Youtube is unusable. It only shows grey placeholders instead of thumnails and titles of the videos. No menu bars are visible.

Expected results:

Setting the User Agent String to "Identify as SeaMonkey" or "Identify as SeaMonkey and advertise Firefox compatibility" results in Google using only a small part of the screen, no continuous scrolling down through google images and no
button to upload an image and search for similar ones. This was the reason why I
decided to switch to "Identify as Firefox" in earlier versions.

I didn't have any problems with "Identify as Firefox" until SeaMonkey 2.53.9.1 with Youtube. The problem occurred only in 2.53.10.

Will be fixed in bug 1737436.

Current 68 fixes other sites including some from google and will not be backleveled again.
