Not a valid bug report.

@reporter:
We need a step by step instruction how to reproduce your problem starting with launch of seamonkey and, if necessary, creating an account for http://steamcommunity.com. But of course, we sould prefer STR which need no creation of an account.

I recommend to ask for halp at the public support newsgroup mozilla.support.seamonkey on server “news.mozilla.org” (or the same as mailing list via <https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo>)  or on the forum at <http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=40&sid=8da4bc9c0df77f19ee7aa448264cd2e4>

Please check your settings under Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Cookies. 

Also see if you have any special cookie settings for the website. The old cookie viewer works best for this:

chrome://communicator/content/permissions/cookieViewer.xul

I don't think whether tat is useful. Generally descriptions what a user sees are much less interesting than e description what WE have to do to reproduce your problem. If FRG's tipp does not help it would be more interesting to know whether tha problem also happens on other webpages, what your cookie-manager shows, what your settings are, and so on.

Here's step by step description of the issue with http://steamcommunity.com (largest gaming world platform, I guess you need some test account to reproduce the bug):

1. Login in your account and open some steam market page, for example this one: 
http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/753/387850-:controllerThumbsUp:#

2. Close your whole browser and open it again.

3. Newly opened page will show old info from last session and not updated page version. When you try anything to buy or sell there page will give you error (see original screenshot).
To update you press F5 and your cookie got deleted, account is logged off. You need to log in every browser restart each time.

> Hello, could you fix this bug now?

The latest SeaMonkey release occurred almost four months after the prior release.  Thus, a fix to this bug less than two weeks after you reported it cannot be accomplished.  Even with Firefox's six-week cycle between releases depends on work beginning on fixes to start well more than six weeks before the release.  With SeaMonkey, it takes even longer since all work is done by unpaid volunteers, some of whom must also work at other jobs to earn an income.

I understand that, but maybe you have some plan of fixes or something to repair in next build?
