Do I understand correctly that Imperva is security software the site is using to block access from "unapproved" browsers? If so, IMHO the SeaMonkey team at least needs to take steps to prevent this from locking up the browser as is happening now. I know how to kill the process with Task Manager, but less computer-savvy users may be stymied.

We don't really know why Imperva is blocking access. I did a web search on "website blocked by imperva" and one of the first links it threw up was https://docs.imperva.com/bundle/cloud-application-security/page/error-codes.htm Another was https://docs.imperva.com/bundle/cloud-application-security/page/settings/security-settings.htm - that could maybe help more. There's a list of Client IDs and their codes in there, Firefox is 1, Seamonkey is 45. When I try and access https://www.jewelosco.com/ I get Error 16 and the first link gives that as
The request was blocked based on your security settings (Bot Access Control or 
Block Specific Sources) in the Cloud Security Console. For details, see Web 
Protection - Security Settings.

Looking that one up (the last part of that text is a link), Block Specific Sources can be used to block countries, IP-ranges or URLs (!). Bot Access Control works on Client IDs from that list and my guess is that the customer - jewelosco.com - has not whitelisted Seamonkey, an alternative would be a bug on the Imperva side where it is not recognising Seamonkey in the first place.
I am not in the US, maybe my Code 16 is down to that.
Your Seamonkey just hangs?  Different error.
