netpredictions.sqlite is used in a scheme to predict what domains you
might request next so that a prefetch to a domain-name server (DNS) can
resolve in advance the domain to its IP address.  This is supposed to be
controlled by the preference variable network.seer.enabled, which has
the default value "false" (disabled) in SeaMonkey.  It appears that even
with network.seer.enabled set to "false"

Note that it was "true" for a while (which did speed up network interactions quite a bit, the measurements of that were done on Firefox but should apply to SM as well) but it has been disabled by default as the feature had some issues, including crashes and the large size of this database. The feature will be completely reworked and probably not use this sqlite database in the future but just use information from the cache instead. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1009122 for the plan on this.
