Seamonkey and QupZilla need update?

What is the status of www/seamonkey and prospect of updating from 2.39 to the current 2.40, which was released from upstream on March 14, 2016?
What makes me nervous is my bank saber-rattling about needing a more current browser.
Seamonkey 2.39 worked on this bank, now it blocks me with error message about my browser not being up-to-date; Seamonkey still works for other online financial services.
I figure either the bank website doesn't like Seamonkey, though Firefox also appears in the user-agent string, or doesn't like FreeBSD, insisting on Windows or Mac.
I also have www/qupzilla-qt4 1.8.9, see on qupzilla.com that current version is 2.0.1. I have used qupzilla-qt4 1.8.9, but it seems less robust that Seamonkey 2.39. Reason for my interest is the ability to fudge the user-agent string; I believe Xombrero and Midori also have this ability.
If I have to build qupzilla anew, hopefully updated, I might switch to qupzilla-qt5.

I am getting ready to update both NetBSD and FreeBSD.
