I'll use the package from https://www.seamonkey-project.org/ rather than
from Debian repository.

I wish clarification of instructions at
www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/install-and-uninstall#install_linux

The first paragraph states:
Note: There is no installer available, but just extracting the tar.bz2
to the default directory (usually /usr/local/seamonkey) achieves the
same result as an installer would.

The instructions then say to do
  mkdir seamonkey2
  cd seamonkey2
and then extract files to that directory

Question:
Is the intent to place the files in /usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey2 ?

I found it much easier to just use the ubuntuzilla ppa

<https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/ubuntuzilla>

in installs seamonkey to /opt/seamonkey with execuable in
/usr/bin/seamonkey

My intention is for all users to:
 1. access the same executable.
 2. have profiles and profile.ini under their own home directory.

Does that automatically. Each user gets settings in ~/.mozilla/seamonkey/



Secondary Question:
How do I replace the links to Firefox/Iceweasel in the
Applications->Internet sub-menu with SeaMonkey?

I use Ubuntu with Unity which seamonkey.desktop in
~/.local/share/applications/

For editing old style menus was alacarte. Whatever menu editor MATE uses I don't know.
