It appears that SSA has made changes to their website that are no longer 
compatible with SeaMonkey.  I can login but once it goes to the account 
at: https://secure.ssa.gov/myssa/myhub/ I get a "Loading application..."
and then nothing.

The error console shows:

Interestingly, this is even worse than Firefox, which fails to even load 
the login page with an error:

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

I have had to fall back to Chromium to work with this site.

Can SeaMonkey be fixed for this?
