That's really frustrating.

Where did you get your original Seamonkey from, which was 
in /usr/bin/seamonkey?  I don't use Mozilla, now Seamonkey, but Konqueror, 
Firefox, or Opera.  I ask because according to my FC5 updates last night, 
this was the first time that Seamonkey was installed. Apt-get showed Mozilla 
being REPLACED, and Seamonkey as NEW.

I have Sun's JRE installed, and have just tried a site that I know needs Java, 
both with Firefox, and my new Seamonkey, and both work ok. Same goes for the 
Internet radio site that uses Realplayer10GOLD.

I hope you havn't had to re-setup too many plugins.

Nigel.
