This very odd behavior started right after updating to 2.14. It only
occurs in one account, so it may have nothing to do with the update.
When I open my browser, I get a prompt to allow the setting of a cookie
from my homepage (a yahoo site), and then I get a prompt to allow a
cookie to be set from an IP address (no domain name). After looking it
up, I was surprised to find that it is the Comcast WAN IP from my own
router. What software could this be that is setting a cookie from my own
IP address when I connect? I found the same cookie in firefox, which was
set to private browsing. When I changed firefox to "ask me every time"
for cookie permissions, I did not get a prompt to allow setting of the
cookie when I open firefox, so I can't seem to duplicate this in
firefox. I get this prompt every time I open seamonkey unless I
permanently create a rule. This has never happened before, so it seems
very odd. It is also odd that it doesn't happen in my other seamonkey
profiles.
Has anyone else seen this happen? There is nothing in the cookie, and it
doesn't seem to change when I surf, so I'm not sure what it is doing.
New things that happen out of the blue always capture my attention.

After looking into this, not only is this cookie coming from nowhere,
permissions regarding it and cookies for my home page are disappearing.
If I clear permissions for my home page and this IP, close, and re-open
seamonkey, I get the prompt to allow setting of both. I click block, and
"use every time" and I can go into the data manager and see that the
block permission is there for both. If I close and re-open again, I get
the same prompt again. If I look in the data manager, the permissions
for my home page domain and the IP are gone. No matter how many times I
click block and use every time, I still get a prompt to set every time I
open. Something is either removing the permissions, or there is a bug.
I have 4 seamonkey accounts and this is only happening in one of them. I
have the same home page in all of them and I made sure my permissions
were the same. This does not happen when I open any of the other
accounts. I also can't get this to happen in firefox or ie.
