Presumably you're using the Fedora rpm. Try Buc's and/or Mozilla's binaries to see if it makes any difference. https://buc.fedorapeople.org/seamonkey/download/ https://archive.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.53.18.2/linux-x86_64/
I'm currently on F39, have been using seamonkey from the Fedora repos going back many, many, releases (at least back to F31, though probably farther). I mainly use it for e-mail, but when browsing have never had a problem with it showing pix. I have had it go into an excessive CPU usage state from time to time; I always just exit and restart it to "fix".
My main issue with seamonkey is that it seems to want to use plugins from firefox (even though different profiles), and one of my main reasons for wanting to use the seamonkey browser is for sites where firefox plugins break things (nowadays I tend to use chromium for that).
