Windows XP SP3
SeaMonkey 2.13.2

As I recall, the last time I requested SeaMonkey to open a .doc file
from a Web page's link, the file opened in a separate Word window and
not in the browser window.  I think this is because there is no Word
plugin for the browser to use.  Of course, this was sufficiently long
ago that it might have been with Windows 98 instead of Windows XP; and
it might have been with Mozilla Suite instead of SeaMonkey.
