My target machine is a laptop with multiple users having Debian Jessie with MATE desktop. 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 ?
My intention is for all users to:
 1. access the same executable.
 2. have profiles and profile.ini under their own home directory.

The intent is to place the files in /usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey2.

I would just use /usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey

That should would for all users to access the same executable.
Each users profile and profile.ini would be in the hidden .mozilla folder in their own home directory.

Make sure you use the -p switch for the executable.


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

No idea.
