Okay, you have a problem with your configuration. I got what I
described by selecting the link from your earlier reply, just to make
sure that you had the correct link.
One last suggestion before major surgery: Try running SeaMonkey in Safe
Mode. If the installation did not provide a proper way to get that, my
shortcut in Windows has
C:\SeaMonkey2\seamonkey.exe -safe-mode
Safe mode temporarily disables all extensions but not external plugins.
If you still can't get it to work right with Safe Mode, I hate to
suggest the following because I know it's a pain in the butt. However,
I think you might want to remove both SeaMonkey and Java from your Mac,
reboot, and then reinstall them. You don't have to remove the SeaMonkey
profiles since the prior attempt at using Safe Mode has already proven
that the problem is not in your profiles.
