True. I got the same with my to-day's Linux build (Build ID:2007032910, FC6 non-static build). The installer did not put the seamonkey script in the default install directory, Making a seamonkey-1.5a.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2 archive and unpack that to another place works -the start script (seamonkey) is there, and starting from that directory (./seamonkey) works fine.

see bug 375102 comment 13.  Do you still have problems if you do 

% chmod a+r [seamonkeydir]/chrome/*.rdf

?

Although bug 375102 looks related, it did not solve this one.
Doing chmod a+r [seamonkeydir]/chrome/*.rdf is however working fine, and seems to resolve this bug.

Thanks. This works for me. But having restored my January long  stop backup I think I may have found a different critical defect with password fields ...
