Thanks for the links. I am still having troubles grasping the management 
of SELinux. It is debatable as to how far one is willing to venture in 
order to get a desired program to work or just render SELinux totally 
ineffective by putting it in permissive or disabling it altogether.

With a modification applied that firefox and thunderbird use in selinux 
policies, seamonkey works again and SELinux is crippled as it is for 
other mozilla derived applications. It is active again though.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202642
leads to the previously discussed bug which was closed. Comment #8 from 
the close bug report works to allow SELinux to remain in enforcing 
instead of disabled systemwide.
