+I find it convenient to have them all installed together, and running 
+firefox + thunderbird at the same time takes more memory than seamonkey 
+with the navigator and email agent open.  (Unless that has changed.)
+There is also the plus of adding new navigator features to seamonkey 
+after they have been tested on firefox, so there are somewhat fewer bugs.
+Now I'm using upstream Seamonkey, but it would be nice to have an 
+up-to-date version in Mageia.
+(When I have more time, I might be interested in maintaining it myself.)
