I cannot view <https://slashdot.org/?desktop=1>.  For over a minute, the
status bar shows repeated requests to domains such as
        slashdot.org
        m.slashdot.org
        fonts.googleapis.com
        a.fsdn.com
        d3tglifpd8whs6.cloudfront.net
        fonts.gstatic.com
without ever rendering the page.

Last night, I had no problem with that Web site.  Today, I cannot get
it.  Trying SeaMonkey in safe mode did not help.  Enabling "Advertise
Firefox compatibility" did not help.

Although I can get the page while using Internet Explorer 11, spoofing
Internet Explorer 11 in SeaMonkey does not work.  Spoofing Chrome or
Opera do not work.

Is anyone else having this problem?  Has anyone found a solution?

Well, here's another thought, but it won't last long. One of the moderators here has been purging every message I post since October 31. It doesn't matter what I say: as long as it has my name on it he purges it. And he even purges posts that quote me, as one of yours did.

Since a lot of websites write different code for different browsers, it stands to reason that those different variants might call different URIs as they assemble the page. In that case, your computer may be having trouble retrieving one or more of the resources required for the SM version of the page but not having trouble retrieving the resources needed for the other versions of the page. With that in mind, try purging your DNS resolver cache:

From a command prompt, type
        ipconfig/flushdns
and hit Enter. Close the command window and reload the page in SeaMonkey.
