See Bug 395371. In the mean time as a workaround start seamonkey with -silent as well as -jsconsole.

Meh, that comment #5 there just doesn't make sense, that's just plain counter-intuitive.

Well, I did file *one* issue with the startup handler code, I couldn't foresee you'd be changing the component... :-P
