Long time SeaMonkey user, since NN Communicator > Mozilla > SeaMonkey.
Recently noticed and ant temporary URL shortcuts dragged to desktop now
have Windows Unknown File icon.
SM 3.31 on Win7 64-bit Ult.
What I have noticed is that the URL shortcut file is correctly
generated, ans still references a cached favicon in the shortcutCache
folder but since December 5 the new cached icons are zero-byte empty files.
Example:
[InternetShortcut]
URL=https://duckduckgo.com/
IDList=
HotKey=0
IconFile=C:\Users\Jonathan\AppData\Local\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\[SALT].default\shortcutCache\FozodaIYjM6XkkoR9qkY3w==.ico
IconIndex=0
FozodaIYjM6XkkoR9qkY3w==.ico exists but is an empty file. If I download
DuckDuckGo's favicon, rename to FozodaIYjM6XkkoR9qkY3w==.ico and then
move it to shortcutCache fixes the problem for that shortcut. So the
the URL shortcut generation is okay, the icon display of the URL
shortcut in Windows is okay, what seems broken is SeaMonkey's function
to download the associated favicon. This was working before Dec 5 2014.
All cached files after the fifth are 0-byte, all before or valid ICOs.
There was just an update, looking at the app folder modification date is
Dec 3.
Interestingly Firefox is also afflicted, yet not the 64-bit Pale Moon.
Curiouser and curiouser!

Take care,
Jonathan
