With SeaMonkey you never have the second result.

My usual practice is to right-click the image and choose "Open link in 
new window," which preserves the search results in case this particular 
result doesn't turn out to be what I want. I can close the bad result 
and choose another without having to repeat the search or wait for SM to 
render the cached window if I click the "back" button.


In this case, opening the link in a new window provides all the data you 
wanted.

Depends. *g*

Dependent on the state of 'Advertise Firefox compatibility' I am getting
different results. Yours with the two scroll bars appears when using
'Advertise'.

Even the content of the search window after calling google is different
regarding 'Advertise'.

Mine works ok.  Check your pop up blockers.

I have played with:
- Block Unrequested popup windows checked/uncheked
- privacy.popup.remove_blacklist false/true
- ALLOW popup for the specific site google.com
AND all those tests did not correct the problem.

Save the favourites from IE as HTML and then import that file into SeaMonkey.

Confirmed as to javascript. I get blur no matter what I do until I 
reenable js. As for subscriber logins, I routinely get these nags from a 
variety of news sites, but clearing cookies resets their counters to 
zero and lets you read a few more articles. But blocking cookies often 
causes them to refuse to serve any content at all. You have to pretend 
to cooperate.

I've found the same effect at bleacherreport.com, where photos get 
blurred unless I enable the scripting on that site.


When it comes to enabling or disabling scripting hosts, chartbeat, 
blueconic and amazon-adsystem are all advertising related. As a general 
thing, I've found that at many sites (but not all), it's desirable to 
enable cloudfront's hosts, as they often deliver content I want to see, 
although I don't enable them (and often per-visit) unless doing so seems 
to be necessary to see content I want.


Googletagmanager is an odd beast. I'm generally suspicious of enabling 
anything Google, but it's not uncommon at many sites that if I click on 
a link and get no response, it takes enabling googletagmanager. The same 
kind thing tends to apply with other Google hosts (including cached 
fonts at gcion.com), although which Google hosts need enabling vary from 
site to site.


By my experience, the only Google scripting host that seems to be 
exclusively related to advertising and tracking (and where it's always 
safe to block without disrupting content or navigation) is with Google 
Analytics.

Thanks. Will give it a shot.

... but, Paul, note that the two user prefs Hartmut gave you are 
overrides for specific web sites, so may not fix your problem.


However, they may indicate have to set your own override for the 
specific sites you are having problems with!!


Overrides for specific websites is exactly what I asked for.

I have the basic competence to replace "independent.co.uk" or 
"whatsapp.com" with the domain that's bothering me and to replace his UA 
strings with my own. I'm not a complete idiot. I just needed the syntax.



No worries ... just pointing it out! ;-)
