I will type www.amazon.com into the address bar.  When I hit enter, it shows the Google English site instead.  See screenshot at (http://picasaweb.google.com/webmasterwhit/SeaMonkeyBugzilla/photo#5095280066810543330).  I am unable to to go any link on Amazon.  If I use:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/homepage.html/104-1785342-0111949?ie=UTF8&tag=kaxy-20&link%5Fcode=ure
 instead, I receive a google error. See screenshow at (http://picasaweb.google.com/webmasterwhit/SeaMonkeyBugzilla/photo#5095280723940539634).

I can visit Amazon fine in IE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type http://www.amazon.com into address bar and press enter.
2. The address bar continues to show amazon, but a Google page loads.
Actual Results:  
A google page loads.

Expected Results:  
Should have sent me to the Amazon.com site.

Can browse Amazon.com fine with IE, just not SeaMonkey.

Does this still occur? (Seems like an issue with DNS or the like.)

I haven't had a problem lately with it, no.  It could have been a DNS issue, but I don't know since it worked fine in IE.
