Default Now Netflix and Win 7 Pro

What would the User Agent override string be for Win 7 Pro 64 bit I got
the XP working with the below suggestions:

Right-click and create new string key
general.useragent.override.netflix.com
enter value of
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0
This setting does not work in Win 7 Pro. and Seamonkey 2.39.
Thanks
JAS

That string tells the world that your machine has FF42.0 and w7/64.
If it does not work then there is likely something else wrong.
You might want to post in the SeaMonkey group:

That is the same UA string you specified in your WinXP instance of
Firefox to lie that it was running under Win7 (NT 6.1). Worked on WinXP
(to present a false UA string for both OS and client versions) but
doesn't work for you under Win7 (where the remaining false part is the
Firefox version number).

You sure what you think you are specifying for the UA string is what the
web browser is actually reporting to the web site it connects? What
does http://useragentstring.com/ report for your UA string?

Have you yet tried running Seamonkey with all extensions disabled?

So far, seems you love a web browser that doesn't work for you.

Seamonkey 2.39
Released November 8, 2015

Hasn't been updated in over 3 months.

today 20-Feb-2016 \__ 104 days
2.39 released 08-Nov-2015 / \__ 43 days
2.38 released 26-Sep-2015 / \__ 23 days
2.35 released 03-Sep-2015 / \__ 163 days
2.33.1 released 24-Mar-2015 /

Could be awhile until the 7-member Seamonkey Council gets around to
fixing their web browser. Have you asked in the Seamonkey communities
listed below? They would be more focused on Seamonkey than a newsgroup
whose topic is about an OS.

Yes, something else was wrong. I cleared all the cookies for Netflix and
the cache and then things started to work right. Sorry for being such a
dummy. Thanks I just did not understand the user string.
