Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v2.0a2pre ?

[David Juran]

With SeaMonkey v2.0a2pre one can't even log in to hotmail, but there seem to be enough reports about that issue...

With firefox-3.0.2 on Fedora, when I try to reply to an email, there are _lots_ of messages in the error console of which the last one is 

 Error: Permission denied to call method Location.toString

Its worse with SM v2.0a.  It will show a "classic mode" since it doesn't recognize SM as a firefox clone or variant, but no emails will open. Only the listings. With SM v1.13 at least I can read the emails.

Out of 14 tries with a test message in my hotmail account. I was able to get the reply feature to work properly 3 times. The rest of the time the reply section did not open properly.

Comment 0 sounds like bug 464074 (inability to type/focus message body when composing/replying). Spoofing with a literal Firefox UA will enable the message body field.
