7. You may need to upgrade your browser

Javascript is a standard web technology used by many websites for core functionality. Modern browsers should have no problems handling it, but development stopped on Seamonkey back in 2018 -- it uses an old, outdated Javascript engine.

Unfortunately it's likely that these issues are going to keep getting worse over time if you keep using Seamonkey -- not just on DU, but wherever you go online. My recommendation would be to upgrade to a modern browser -- not just for this issue, but because they will give you much better security online too, since they're constantly updated with security patches.

If you don't want to use one of the major browsers, there are alternatives like Brave which might be more appealing to you. I'm sure if you asked in the Lounge or in Computer Help & Support, people would be happy to suggest other alternatives too.
