A technical question for Dropbox users:

Usually I interact with Dropbox through the local folder on my computer; 
Dropbox uploads and downloads changed files without my interaction.

However, when I email a colleague a link to a file or folder I've posted on 
Dropbox, I like to test the link before sending it. (Dropbox is confusing 
enough for regular users; new users are often completely baffled, even when the 
link is correct!)

One way I've verified the upload is by right-clicking on the Dropbox desktop icon, then 
selecting "View on dropbox.com," then looking at my new folder or files and 
verifying the time and file sizes. However, that has suddenly stopped working for me in 
Seamonkey, although it still works in Firefox and Chrome.

Dropbox has made a recent change that's trouble for me; the other way I 
verified these links was by pasting them in my outgoing email in Seamonkey, 
then clicking on the link before sending the email and making sure I'm being 
sent to the right file. Dropbox now defeats that approach; their explanation is 
that when a file is already on your local computer, you get redirected there 
instead of to the actual link on dropbox.com.

Either of my old methods worked fine, but I prefer to stay within Seamonkey 
rather than switching browsers, especially when I'm on other computers and 
don't recall my passwords.

Any suggestions? Dropbox doesn't seem to have any real tech support, and I 
haven't been able to find anyone else reporting this problem through Google.
