   Did some follow-up.   
      1. Caja show the "default profile" was created at least a year ago.   
         Who knows what version of SeaMonkey was in use.   
      2. Created a new profile named "Sep25Defaults"   
         Tried loading one of my problem sites.   
         It "loaded". Presented me with a blank screen.   
         Disabling JavaScript allowed much to be displayed.
