And Yahoo Mail no longer works now that they've forced you to the newer
version of their mail system. I tried to download and install the
extension User Agent Switcher, and guess what? SeaMonkey is not
compatible with the current version of that.. no surprise.
I'm running 2.49.1, and not having any problems with either one -- and I
make extensive use of both NoScript and AdBlock plus.
When you have issues of this nature, the problem is rarely Seamonkey
itself, but problems accumulated in your user profile. The same
principle applies to both Firefox and Thunderbird.
Over time, entropy can set into a profile, especially if you do much in
the way of extensions.
See what happens when you try Seamonkey in safe mode (Help -> Restart
with add-ons disabled). Besides temporarily extensions, it will also
temporarily reset most of your preferences to default. In my own
experience, I've found that even a one-time start of Seamonkey in safe
mode can occasionally be sufficient to clear problems.
If you have more than a couple of extensions, you might try
uninstall/reinstall on each.
You may also want to see what you can do with a fresh profile, where
you're really starting over from scratch. If you use Seamonkey for
mail, that takes a little more effort of copying your data over to a new
profile, but if your profile is really old, it may be worth the effort.
On my own setup, I keep a spare profile that is almost entirely default
configuration settings. On occasions that I have troubles getting to a
particular site (and I do have that happen some, with my use of blocking
tools), it's easy enough to launch the alternate profile. Although
there's a handful of sites that demand a Firefox User Agent string, the
default one that Seamonkey shows is usually sufficient, and I find it
very rare that I need to resort to spoofing (in my case, PrefBar), and
rarer still that a site will not work, if I'm spoofing.
However, making even temporary use of a near-pristine profile is enough
to be pretty conclusive that problems aren't generic to "Seamonkey", but
virtually always problems with the individual profile.
