Current SeaMonkey is based on Gecko/Firefox 52 ESR, which I am incapable of supporting due to missing WebExtension APIs. There was also some severe WebExtension brokenness in SeaMonkey, in addition to missing APIs, last time I checked (Flagfox 5.2.x explicitly disables WebExt storage support under SeaMonkey due to bugs there). Once SeaMonkey is based on Gecko/Firefox 57 or later I will look into making whatever changes are needed to support it (unless my minimum requirement goes up in the interim, in which case I'll need a SeaMonkey version supporting whatever that becomes).

I'm considering uploading a Flagfox 5.2.4 update to provide a little bit of extended support for Firefox 52 ESR & SeaMonkey, but I haven't worked out the best way to do this just yet. I'll post to the Flagfox blog if/when I do this (https://flagfox.wordpress.com).
