Here's something simple that I think is worth trying, and I would be very

If you are able to get the clock going, then there is likely some site
interaction problem contributing to your profile situation.
Doesn't work here anywhere, but may likely be firewall related. (If the
applet tries to establish a connection other than trough the http-proxy
this will fail here.)
Matthias,
I am going to suggest a solution that may meet with a lot of discourse
with other members of this group, but it works.
Oracle acquired JAVA and decided it needed some upgrades. Oracle
released its upgrade version 7. There may have been some security
upgrades, and some performance improvements, and some functionality
upgrades. But whatever they did they introduced more security issues
than they can solve.
The suggestion is two fold.
1. If you had downloaded the previous version #6, make sure it is JAVA 6
u 38, the full version number is 6.0.380.5
2. Close all web browsers and applications that may use JAVA. For
Windows users go to Control Panel/Add-Remove Programs. Remove all
versions of JAVA. If you had downloaded SeaMonkey 2.1 and saved it on
your HD you can uninstall your current version of SM. Uninstalling SM
will not tamper with your Profile. For Windows users, after
uninstalling SeaMonkey, reboot your computer. Navigate to were you
saved the SeaMonkey install file and double click to install. During
the install process SM will import all your profile settings. Make sure
all web browsers are closed. Navigate to where you saved the JAVA
installation file and double click on JAVA 6 U38.
Once you downgrade SM to version 2.1 you may be surprised at all the
tools, plugins, themes, and extensions that will now work.
Once you install the earlier version of SM (2.1) you will remove some
security enhancements, but if you employ a good firewall, anti-virus,
anti-malware program, and execute care when connecting to questionable
web sites you should have no problems.
