   Don't know Debian but, I guess, it is similar to the MageiaLinux that I   
   normally use.   
      
   You are using SeaMonkey Ver 2.53.20 which is a little bit out of date as   
   I'm posting with SM 2.53.21.   
      
   As I understand it, when you install SeaMonkey, You/It created a   
   'Default' Profile so you would have real problems creating another   
   'Default' Profile. .... Try 'Test' or 'Secondary' or something.   
      
   And, as you mention "Firefox (with presumably default settings) has no   
   problems with them." be aware that the SeaMonkey Team of Developer ARE   
   doing their best to give us what we want .... but the WWW is forever   
   moving forward.   
      
   I have Firefox with-in easy reach should I come across one of those   
   difficult Web-Sites.
