SeaMonkey doesn't support DRM-protected HTML5 video, which (now that
Flash and Silverlight are passé) is the only way that some commercial
streaming services will play.
Although Firefox has (was forced to?) incorporate an interface to the
required proprietary modules, the interface has never been fully
developed in SeaMonkey, due to a combination of priorities and
objections in principle.
If you want to watch those videos with the least tang of G in your
mouth, carry on with FF86.

The way I remember it, the then Firefox "chairman" (whatever the
position is called) made the decision to support DRM. The decision was
not popular and there are ways of configuring FF to disable that
feature. The whole discussion was a couple of years back so I'm short
on details but the search engine of your choice should throw them up for
anyone who cares.
