Hi, this morning when I opened Seamonkey to go to myspace.com, it
redirects me to: http://m.myspace.com/login.wap?isredirected=true I
tried another browser and it went to myspace just fine. Any ideas on
what happened? Browser hijack?

Thanks

I'd guess you deleted your cookies. Log in again, and if/when SeaMonkey
asks to save the cookie(s), answer Yes.

Not likely, else you'd see a link to a 'hijack' site.

Well, the page I get is a very plain looking page just asking for email
and password: http://i40.tinypic.com/a26749.jpg

I had myspace bookmarked and when I clicked the bookmark, it goes to
this odd looking page, not the normal myspace 'welcome screen'

That link is for Myspace Mobile edition, that's what the "m" sub domain means
and the page itself is login.WAP <--

It must think Seamonkey is a mobile browser.

Somehow it thinks you're on a mobile device. But that is myspace.

use firefox with noscript extension- it will prevent any unauthorised
redirects and inform you when you are about to enter a forged site.
