I've tried several times to see the aerial photos (map) of the site http://donosti.blom.es/ , with no success. It says "Your browser does not support vector rendering. Currently supported renderers are: SVG VML". This happened to me with SeaMonkey v1, but continues after upgrade to v2.

In about:plugins I have:

Scalable Vector Graphics

    File name: libmozsvgdec.so
    Scalable Vector Graphics, as handled by RSVG-2.22.3. Views SVG images.

    This is alpha software. It will probably behave in many situations, but may also ride your motorcycle, drink all your milk, or use your computer to browse porn. Comments, feature requests, and patches are welcome.

    See http://librsvg.sourceforge.net/ for information.

MIME Type 	Description 	Suffixes 	Enabled

Seamonkey 2 renders SVG natively. You shouldn't need a plug in.

If it is the plug in's issue you should raise that with the plug in author.

I've disabled the plugin, so the above text doesn't appear in about:plugins .

But the problem continues.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.10pre) Gecko/20100326 SeaMonkey/2.0.5pre

Works For Me on Fedora 12. 

I haven't any plugin for SVG, and haven't any messages about supported renderers.

Please update to SeaMonkey 2.0.4.

Is SVG enable on SeaMonkey?:
1. Write about:config into the URL bar and hit Enter.
2. Type "svg" (without the quotes) into the Filter box
   There I have line "svg.enabled .... true" (without the quotes).

I use Puppy Linux v. 4.3.1 & SeaMonkey v. 2.0 . I've tried all the combinations between:
+ about:config's svg.enabled: true & false
and:
+ Tools -> Add-on Manager -> Scalable Vector Graphics: enabled & disabled (reflected on about:plugins)

But I always get the same problem.

Works for me as well on a SeaMonkey 2.1a1pre (trunk) build on openSUSE 11.3 Factory. I've never even had or needed a plugin for SVG though. Maybe just having the plugin takes away some control over SVG from the Mozilla code.

You could uninstall the plug in or try the plug-in's author for support. Resolving invalid as it seems to be an issue with the plug-in.
