I figured it out now. about:config's geo.enabled after noticing my PrefBar's had this checked on the working weather.com web site. I was able to reproduce the issue in both Firefox and my other computer's SeaMonkey. :D

Now, let's go tell weather.com about it!

I just checked weather.com web site again, and it was broken again.
Argh. :( So, I exited SM and removed that "user_pref("geo.enabled",
false);" line in my profile's prefs.js. I relaunched it, it asked me for
my location (denied it fully and always), and it worked fine (for how
long?).

For those who have this problem, please try removing
"user_pref("geo.enabled", false);" line from your prefs.js after making
a backup of it (just in case). Does anyone know what is up with this?
Where is SM keeping its geo data? Why is it only happening on
weather.com? :(

Thank you in advance. :)

lines by eliminating them in groups. I got down to this line:
user_pref("geo.enabled", false);. I took it out and reluanched SM, and
SM asked me to share my location. I said no as always, and saw
everything. I tried to put this back (even the original backup), but
couldn't reproduce it. Where does SM keep its geo.enable datas for each
web site? Maybe that got corrupted?

Hello.

For some reason, my very old Windows XP Pro SP3 desktop PC's SeaMonkey
v2.40 web browser no longer shows everything on https://weather.com/.
Here is the current home page snapshot I see:

I tried clearing caches, cookies, disabled (extension/addon)s, safe
mode, enabling send referers, etc. A brand new profile show no problems.
The only thing I haven't tried is resetting my settings back to
defaults. However, I did manage to narrow it down to the source.
Something is in my profile's prefs.js is causing it since I tried
renaming it to see its results, but I can't figure out what is in it to
cause the symptoms.

Also, other web sites do not have problems too. Just weather.com. Using
my old Debian (stable/Jessie)/Linux box's 64-bit SM v2.40, with its old
profile, did not have any problems too.

Thank you in advance. :)
