Thanks for your reply.
I know that, and that isn't the problem. As I already explained, it 
works in Firefox but not in Seamonkey. Therefore, my configuration is 
fine and there's a problem in Drupal or the aged version of Seamonkey I 
use. If it's something in Drupal, it's probably something obscure as af 
first glance it doesn't seem to me to be sensitive about what browser is 
in use.
