In Mozilla browsers, the appName can be easily reconfigured.

1) Open about:config
2) right click in the config window
3) select "new > String"
4) type "general.useragent.appName" and hit "Enter"
5) Enter a new value (e.g. "Mike Browser") and hit "Enter"

The Mozilla *application suite* that included a browser, e-mail
client, news reader, HTML editor, chat client and other components is
now called SeaMonkey[1].

Seamonkey's browser uses the same rendering engine (Mozilla Gecko) and
javscript engine (SpiderMonkey) as Firefox. They likely use slightly
different versions though as it is a separate product and development
team and I don't think upgrades are necessarily kept in sync with
Firefox.

So, strictly, the answer is yes, they probably do "differ in
javascript", but by less than say Firefox and IE. Also, the
differences will change as versions of the underlying components are
upgraded.
