I suggest you D/L the Mozilla version, unpack it (generates "seamonkey" dir), 
and move the directory to a reasonable place (/usr/local for me) and generate a 
custom icon for it. That seems solid.

Note: I have selinux on, and therefore needed to do
   chcon -t texrel_shlib_t /usr/local/seamonkey/lib*.so
to get solid operation.

HTH.
