I don't know specifically about Seamonkey, but this could be the recent Java block the Firefox guys implemented. Since Seamonkey's innards are the same as Firefox's, I expect the Firefox block affects Seamonkey too. Basically, it was found that Java had an humongous security hole. Worse, this security hole was already being actively exploited on the wild. The hole was plugged in Java 6 update 31. So, update your Java plugin and it should work again. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm. Unauthorized use will be prosecuted under the DMCA. -=-=- ...
