Which means online transactions with your financial institutions, online purchasing or what?

Have you looked at uMatrix? I'm not sure what you're doing, so not sure if uMatrix can help, but you can set rules that allow/block cookies, javascript, images, etc. from other sites based on the site you're visiting. Requestpolicy Continued is another addon that has the same idea - <this> site is allowed to make requests to <those> other sites, but I don't think it's been upgraded to whatever it is that Firefox now uses for addons so dunno how much longer SeaMonkey will support it.
