This bug usually hits you only if you don't start the browser first or close
the last browser Windows when Mail is still open. Always in TB because it has
no browser. It should not happen if you start the browser normally first.
Check the error console if you see some error messages pointing to
authentication or add-ons.
The mozilla devs really take their time to review this one despite me and
jorgk giving positive feedback. We might have to put it in a branch for 2.49.1:

Well beggars can't be choosers and Firefox is not affected so this takes the
usual backseat...

A certain internal corporate web page I use no longer works, but only
when accessed from Seamonkey 2.48 on this system. On other browsers,
and from an absolutely clean v2.48 installation on a "virgin" Windows 10
(v 1703), everything works as before.

I think you've run into this bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1347857
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1350152
The work-around, as you've found out, is restarting SM.
It seems it is something in the mail part that breaks
HTTP auth.
Regards.
That could be it, although I personally see no connection to mail.
As a test, I repeated the scenario I reported with my home system, which has
an entirely separate profile and always has.
I opened the same web site with 2.46, authenticated, and got in.
I then upgraded to 2.48, and got the same weird error message when I tried to
connect.
I then restarted 2.48 in safe mode, accessed the web site (with remembered
authentication in this case, no attempt to clear anything), and got in.
Then I restarted 2.48 normally, and access to this web site worked OK.
