Perhaps you have the problematic Mozilla libraries (also) somewhere in your standard library load path. I don't, I have them only in the various Mozilla product directories. The old Mozilla startup scripts used to define all sorts of Library-Path environment variables pointing to the install directory, so the problem had not much chance to come up then. The scripts had OTOH another small glitch which I have patched for long times here. They silently assumed that the final program directory had the same name as the program: When the product was installed in somepath/somedir they tried to load the actiual program binary under the name somepath/somedir/somedir-bin. So I was not unhappy that they (starting with FF a while ago and now with TB/SM) got rid of these scripts, but something seems to be not correct in the actual implementation of the new startup programs in TB and SM. It is, btw, not so that the install directory is not used at all for the loading of dynamic libraries. Strace shows that a number of them are loaded correctly, only a few produce errors.

SM 2.5 - pictures not reloaded from cache
The new SeaMonkey 2.5 (on Linux) shows a strange behaviour on a few websites with pictures. Not sure, if it is relevant, but what they seem to have in common is that the picture thumbnails on the page are not separate files from the server, but scaled-down versions of the full-size files to which they link. When I first load such a page, everything is nornmal, the thumbnails are shown and when I click on them I get the full picture. Now, when I return to the browser tab one or two days later, the thumbnails are no longer shown, only empty frames are there and when I click on them I get a page with only a text line containing the URL. The pictures are unchanged on the server, and I verified with about:cache that they are also all in the local disk cache. So they should be loaded from the cache, but this does not seem to work for unknown reasons. With LiveHTTPHeaders I can see that SM does make server requests for the files which are correctly answered with 304 Not Modified. A simple page reload does also not help, only a full reload brings the page back to normal (for a while ;-). All this does not happen with earlier SeaMonkey versions nor with Firefox.

In the SM2 betas this function has lost the ability to copy the URL. There is already a bugzilla entry 469481 for this problem since end of last year, but it is still not corrected. What can be done to get this regression repaired before a final SM2 version? I'm using this feature all the time, without it the new version would practically be unusable for me.
