User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041122
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041122

Some observations:
- The "Personal Toolbar Folder" in Seamonkey is called "Bookmarks Toolbar
Folder" in FF.
- SM File -> Open Web Location == FF File -> Open Location
- Menu items and separators are not placed in the same sequence as in FF.
Example: File -> Close Tab

This is a usablity issue for users who want to check out the differences between
FF and SM, and could damage both.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1/2. Use Mozilla Seamonkey
2/1. Use Mozilla Firefox
3. Compare them

Actual Results:  
UI names / widgets were in some cases hard to relocate after switching the user
agent
This is rather unreasonable.  The two UIs are different projects, maintained by
different people.  Making either of them track random changes in the other one
is silly.  Changing naming of Suite features that Suite users are used to is
also silly, and would confuse said users.
