An alternative to adding the whole overlay (and the poly-c overlay is
quite big) is to just copy the ebuild you want to your local overlay.
It looks like poly is involved in the maintenance of this package
normally, so I'm not sure why this is not in the main repo yet, if
there is something weird being worked on.

The biggest change if you copy it locally, is that you get the latest
released version of seamonkey, and the rust dependency in the ebuild
has been updated to:

>=virtual/rust-1.34.0

That seems to indicate that the current requirement of <1.53 was never correct?

Either way, worth a try if you ask me, you're on a newer version, the
rust conflict with firefox will not come up again, and hopefully
eventually, the main gentoo repo will get even newer versions so
you'll get automatically updated without having added a full extra
overlay.
