Look in your SeaMonkey browser window's "Tools" menu, at the bottom. It's 
exactly
the same concept as in Firefox, and most any other web browser:
https://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/profiles

It's much like a user login in /etc/passwd. You can create as many users on your
Fedora OS as you please. Similar goes for browser profiles, except *each* user
login may have as many browser profiles as he cares to create (possibly limited 
to
64 or 128). ~/.mozilla/seamonkey is a directory that defines it or them. ATM I
have 6 for SeaMonkey and 20 for Firefox.

I'm currently on F39, have been using seamonkey from the Fedora repos
going back many, many, releases (at least back to F31, though probably
farther).  I mainly use it for e-mail, but when browsing have never
had a problem with it showing pix.  I have had it go into an excessive
CPU usage state from time to time; I always just exit and restart it
to "fix".

My main issue with seamonkey is that it seems to want to use plugins
from firefox (even though different profiles), and one of my main
reasons for wanting to use the seamonkey browser is for sites where
firefox plugins break things (nowadays I tend to use chromium for
that).

Presumably you're using the Fedora rpm. Try Buc's and/or Mozilla's binaries to 
see
if it makes any difference.



Renaming ~/.mozilla/seamonkey is a sledgehammer. SeaMonkey has a -profilemanager
switch same as Firefox, for adding, deleting & modifying profiles, including
moving them to a more convenient location.

If I remember correctly, recent Seamonkey updates were wonky with
previous builds of Seamonkey.

I want to say I exited Seamonkey, renamed my ~/.mozilla/seamonkey
directory to something like ~/.mozilla/seamonkey.old, and launched
Seamonkey again to rebuild my profile and it worked.


I did that, and rebooted.


I only use it for the HTML editor, not the browser. But last time I had
wonky behavior, renaming that directory reset it to defaults and my
issues went away.

Give that a try and let us know?


The result did show pix, but everything was all wonky, and the
machine way way slow.


That's bizarre. I'm using Seamonkey as my HTML editor on my F40 machine 
and it's just fine. I just went to a number of web sites and it seems 
pretty normal. You "reset it to factory defaults" and it's still acting 
weird. Is it using a lot of memory or CPU?


Sorry I don't have any better advice, Beartooth.
