Steps to reproduce:
I was editing old webpages, just changing the wording in some text..
Actual results:
My page backgrounds disappeared and the placement of graphics was way off. I wasted 2 hours, doing everything carefully and testing my results step by step, but it was impossible to get things right.
I had to go back to SeaMonkey version 2.49.4 in order to keep my page backgrounds and the placement of graphics. I wasted 2 hours today with version x.5 until I finally restored version x.4, and then everything went smoothly.
Expected results:
I should have been able to edit the text and then upload the edited webpages to my website. But even pages that looked almost OK in SeaMonkey did not look OK in Safari and Chrome. Once I restored the older x.4 version, everything worked as it always has. I love SeaMonkey because of how simple it usually is!
(But I wish I could open composer and drag files into it instead of having to browse for them.)

There is some tightend security for emails and graphics in 2.49.5 This might effect composer. Unless you can isolate it to a simple testcase and provide step by step instructions this bug will probably go nowhere.
You can try setting layout.css.moz-document.content.enabled to true but it should probably not make a difference in composer.

Thank you gentlemen.
I'm providing a test case, just in case someone is curious. But please don't waste much of your own time trying to help me with my issue. I just posted the bug report to be helpful, in appreciation for how useful SeaMonkey has been to me over the years. SeaMonkey has made it possible for me to make websites in a very basic way with simple HTML code, which is all I need for my purposes. I only make or change a webpage once or twice a month, and I am content to use the previous version of SeaMonkey to do this.
Here is a simple test case:
Download this webpage ...
https://www.zenhell.com/images/quora/Einstein_Universe/Einstein_on_the_Universe.html
... and download the images and page background that go with it, and then try editing the page in Composer in SeaMonkey 2.49.5, moving graphics around, editing text, deleting and then putting the graphics back, etc. , and then open in Safari and Chrome and see what happens.
Then try the same edits in 2.49.4 and see how everything works properly (as expected) again. I thank you both, Frank and Rainer, for your quick reply to my initial bug report, but I don't require any more assistance. I would, however, like to continue receiving email notification if anybody else experiments with this problem.
