In this new release (2.53.9.1), the default HTML font-family changed from Times to Helvetica, Arial - This is really annoying.

Seamonkey-2.53.9.1-Font-Problem.png
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 SeaMonkey/2.53.9.1
Steps to reproduce:
I opened the Seamonkey and it automatically ran the update, so the current version is 2.53.9.1.
Actual results:
After that, my HTML files font-family changed from Times to Helvetica, Arial. I didn't set fonts in general so they were all in Times which is what I like. Now everything changed to Helvetica, Arial. Besides, I tried to set the font-family for a few items like <h1>, <p> but have no effect.
Expected results:
Default HTML page font-family stays as Times instead of Helvetica, Arial.
See attached image, left side is from Firefox (or any other browser, including the last version of SeaMonkey) and the right side is from this 2.53.9.1 release.

The switch from serif to sans serif is the subject of Bug 1727982, and seems to have been made for good reasons (i.e., glyph coverage and not just subjective aesthetics). Perhaps that bug would be the best place to raise counterarguments and so this one should be closed as a duplicate.

2.53.9 has known security issues and regressions. You could just set the prefs back in your profile. The current ones will stay and not be changed. This was flaky before without the prefs and platform fixes made it worse.
+pref("font.default", "sans-serif");
+pref("font.default.x-unicode", "sans-serif");
+pref("font.default.x-western", "sans-serif");
+pref("font.default.x-cyrillic", "sans-serif");
+pref("font.default.el", "sans-serif");
