I encountered a site today that may serve as one 'real world' example.
Mega.co.nz offers end-to-end encryption for data, claiming that all
encryption/decryption is done on the local computer, not by their
servers, and that they do not possess the keys needed to decrypt the
data.
On Seamonkey: Mega.co.nz gives me the following error:
"Sorry, we were unable to initialize the browser's local storage, either
you're using an outdated browser or it's something from our side.
If you think it's our fault, please report the issue back to us.
Reason: localStorage is null
Browser: mozilla/5.0 (x11; linux x86_64; rv:36.0) gecko/20100101
firefox/36.0 seamonkey/2.33.1"
More info on "local storage in the browser" is here:
http://www.infoworld.com/article/2625216/web-browsers/html5-in-the-browser--local-data-storage.html
The page loads perfectly in Firefox: 38.0.5
Which page?
I went to their home page and it loaded perfectly.
I also clicked the link at bottom to learn more, and that loaded perfectly.
Steps to reproduce?
Thank you Paul,
Start Seamonkey 2.33.1 in safe mode with addons disabled.
mega.co.nz
Error: "Sorry, we were unable to initialize the browser's local storage,
either you're using an outdated browser or it's something from our side.
If you think it's our fault, please report the issue back to us.

The current version of Firefox (38.0.5) loads the page without error.
Seamonkey 2.38a1 loads the page perfectly (See Rinaldi's post on 6/18)
so I assume that this is part of current development effort.
I contacted Mega (since they asked so nicely in the error message) and
in their reply, they asked me to "...check whether SeaMonkey disables
localStorage by default? Open the JavaScript console and type
localStorage.length
If you get 0 as a result, it is enabled, and the bug is on our side.
If you get an error, it is disabled, an the error is with SeaMonkey.
Thanks also for your w3.org validator link, we will fix those errors soon."
Using Tools - Web Development - Error Console, I typed in
localStorage.length and I get an error message "TypeError: localStorage
is null" exactly as Mega reports in their error message.
Thanks again for your help.
works fine here(xp pro sp3 sm 2.33.1 ,HP pavilion)
Opened site and uploaded file link.txt, and was told to
create a real account, which I declined.
