I am using Request.Browser.IsMobileDevice in conjunction with the MDBF file that goes in the App_Browsers/Devices folder (http://mdbf.codeplex.com/)

Now using Sea Monkey browser (latest version 2.0.7) IsMobileDevice returns true. Why might this be the case as clearly Sea Monkey is not a mobile browser. In fact, I had the understanding it used a lot of the same core as FireFox (which does not return true)

Any insight on this?

A: 

mdbf was his last release. I think you should change mdbf for wurfl, for example using 51degrees api.

Please check http://mdbf.codeplex.com/ [This project is no longer supported and will be removed on October 29, 2010]

Use http://51degrees.codeplex.com/. It is an ASP.NET open source module which detects mobile devices and provides auto redirection to mobile optimized pages when request is coming from mobile device. It makes use of WURFL mobile device database.
