This article does not load into Seamonkey, using my normal profile:

Other than that link, I have no problems with the New York Times. The
link does load into a clean profile, and also in Chrome and IE 11.
I'm using SeaMonkey 2.46 on Windows.
The server seems to be responding with a 403 (forbidden), with a
zero-length body (not even an error message). It appears that having
Lightning mentioned in the user-agent string prevents the page from
being returned by the server. Looks like some dodgy user-agent sniffing.
If you have the Lightning extension installed, you can prevent it from
adding it's name to the user-agent string as follows:
1. Enter about:config in the address bar
2. Accept the warning
3. In the "Search" bar at the top, enter "calendar.useragent.extra"
4. Double-click the entry named "calendar.useragent.extra"
5. Delete the value (leaving it blank) and click OK
After doing that, reload the timesmachine.nytimes.com page.
If you don't have Lightning installed, perhaps it's some other extension
adding something to the user-agent string and tripping up their dodgy
sniffing.
Bingo! I am using Lightning, and your fix worked for the NYT. I never
would have found that solution.
It did not affect how the browser deals with Google maps, unfortunately.
Any ideas on that one?
