Anyone got any other ideas?
In my experience, 99% of the time, when a user experiences blank pages,
it's bad cache or cookies.
Things to check/do:
1. Clear cache. Close SM & verify that the cache tree is empty.
2. Clear cookies. On newer SeaMonkeys, this will be cookies.sqlite.
Move/rename or delete it - with the browser closed.
3. Check your cookie permissions to ensure that Amazon isn't blocked.
4. Are you using a proxy, either for caching or for privacy (I use
Privoxy chained to Squid locally, and I have an uplevel proxy on my
firewall)? Disable *all* proxies.
5. Test in safe mode (not Windows safe mode - if that is your platform -
but SM safe mode). This *should* work.
6. Disable all add-ons. Sometimes a bad configuration for an extension,
perhaps leftover from an older install which was upgraded can cause odd
things; thus, the same add-on on two different systems can behave quite
differently. You can try re-enabling them one at a time until you hit on
the culprit.
Also, check for modified/customized userContent.css in your profile. On
more than one occasion, I've made a tweak to something to make a
particular site "work" - only to come back days/weeks/months later to
find that the law of unintended consequences applied, and I broke
something else that way. ;-)

Thanks for the suggestions, Lewis, but still no joy. I cleared cache &
cookies, removed all of the *.sqlite files from my main profile, and it
made no difference on the errant page (screwed up my add-on installs
again, though: what fun!)
And no, my *.css files are not modified. Also, Safe Mode with this
profile doesn't work with that page, either.
It looks like I'm gonna have to take the painful path of rebuilding my
profile once again, doesn't it? I'm not looking forward to this, due to
how many times I've done it in the past, and how many times I've lost
something as a consequence (emails, bookmarks, passwords, etc.)
What's the most authoritative process to move profile to a new profile,
when you're doing it because something's wrong with your current one?
Almost sounds like catch-22 to me.
