Seamonkey does not allow ad blocking plugins like Adblock Plus and Adblock Ultimate, etc, that are allowed by Firefox, and, a plugin name "Bluehell Firewall" that apparently does ad blocking and tracking blocking, is "not compatible with your version of Seamonkey.

Bluhell Firewall 2.6.4 (FWIW an extension, not a plugin) works fine, certainly on 2.53.5.1 and earlier, but see below.

A strip had been appearing across the top of the window, for a particular web site, and, it had displayed "Parts of the page that track your online activity were blocked <Keep Blocking> <Unblock> <Preferences> <x> "
...
The strip across the top of the window, no longer appears for that web site, and, in going into the web browser preferences, I can not find a way to restore the ad  blocking and tracking blocking, for that web site.

Why is Seamonkey blocking the ad blocking and he tracking blocking?

Keep Blocking uses the settings from Preferences>Privacy & Security. Unblock grants permissions that you can revoke or otherwise modify through Tools>Data Manager, select site, Permissions tab. That may be what you're looking for. SM doesn't have ad-blocking built in.

Why does Seamonkey not allow the plugins that  have mentioned, to work with this version of Seamonkey?

You may be trying to install WebExtensions versions of extensions where SM (currently) supports the classic extensions API (FF 52ESR and earlier). Until SM supports WebExtensions, install the Classic Add-ons Archive extension <https://github.com/JustOff/ca-archive> and use the versions from the archive.
