That would make it less likely that it's profile-specific, but certainly not impossible.

One other thought could be something with your firewall. I found this a couple of years back with Comodo on Windows 7 (and at a McDonald's, to boot), where I was having problems SMTP from Seamonkey. It took a while, but I discovered that the Windows firewall got enabled for that WAP, and that I had chosen to classify as public, and that was blocking my mail connections. When I re-disabled the Windows firewall, I had no problems with sending.

Try Help - Restart with Add-ons disabled, which will allow you to start Seamonkey in safe mode, with default settings. Or you could try adding an additional profile that has all default settings. It's been a while since I've been into a McDonald's, but I've never had any problems there with Seamonkey. It used to be that some sites had problems with Seamonkey (e.g. page developers that equate Gecko and Firefox, without understanding that Firefox is merely one implementation of Gecko), and doing browser sniffing that insists on Firefox as the *only* alternative to IE. In that era, some of us Seamonkey users did some tweaking of the browser identity string (by hacking prefs.js) to show both Firefox and Seamonkey (as a way of spoofing Firefox, and communicating in log entries that nobody uses Seamonkey is false). A little easier than hacking prefs.js directly is via extension -- either PrefsBar or User Agent Switcher. In the meantime, since approximately the time that Mozilla went to Rapid Release on Firefox and Thunderbird, the Seamonkey developers have moved to using a string that shows Firefox, in a way that pretty much satisfies sites that demand Firefox. Since that happened, I don't think I can remember bumping into a site that won't accept Seamonkey. Most often, if I have a site that's not behaving correctly, I assume that it's a result of over-aggressive use of NoScript, AdBlock and/or Ghostery, on my part. If I can't tune settings to make things work correctly, I generally will restart Seamonkey in safe mode, or temporarily move to the profile I keep that has only default settings.
