Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > This, in turn, suggests that there some other factor that interacts to
 cause the problem such as which plugins are installed or similar.

 Indeed this was the case only it was extensions rather than plugins:

  * All extensions enabled: bug present.
  * All extensions disabled: bug not present.
  * All extensions enabled except HTTPS Everywhere: bug not present
  * All extensions (including HTTPS Everywhere) enabled except FoxyProxy:
 bug not present
  * Just HTTPS everywhere and FoxyProxy enabled, all other extensions
 disabled: bug present

 So, it's the combination of HTTPS Everywhere (3.5.3) and FoxyProxy (4.2.4)
 that causes the problem.

 Since I don't have FoxyProxy installed on any of my other SeaMonkey
 installations, this explains why this was the only machine affected.
