I'd recommend that you use Joe Lesko's PPA builds instead:
https://launchpad.net/~seamonkey2/+archive/seamonkey2
Note: he should have 2.0.6 up later today or tonight.
Add Joe's PPA:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:seamonkey2/seamonkey2
$ sudo apt-get update&& sudo apt-get upgrade
Then open Synaptic, unintstall the existing Canonical version& install
Joe's seamonkey2. All of your data/profiles will remain intact, but of
course it's always a good idea to backup your ~/.mozilla folder first,
just in case.
Or, use the standard version from http://www.seamonkey-project.org/.
Just unpack& run from a home folder. That version will pickup and use
your existing ~/.mozilla/seamonkey profile w/o issue.
Any idea if this will work in Puppy Linux Spup 040 (a Slackware
derivative).

SeaMonkey just disappears - poof! Then of course when you try to assist in troubleshooting the package maintainers come back with "Do you have a test case we can use to reproduce the crash?". I wouldn't be so bad if the package provided crash data, but the only warnings/traces are in ~/.xsession-errors & don't really provide any useful information other than identifying that it is the same bug. Until that bug is resolved I do not recommend using the package. I'd recommend that you use Joe Lesko's PPA builds instead: https://launchpad.net/~seamonkey2/+archive/seamonkey2 Note: he should have 2.0.6 up later today or tonight.

There are other similar URLs (pdf files) in the same message, but in the other cases, Document Viewer opens when I click the link (again with no prompt for another choice of action).
