SeaMonkey is the community branch of Mozilla Suite. When Mozilla 
foundation decided to concentrate on Firefox and Thunderbird instead of 
the suite, a group of independent community developers took over 
development and called it SeaMonkey which was the codename for the suite 
earlier.

SeaMonkey is a browser suite which includer a browser, mail client and 
other things while Firefox is just a browser. There are some differences 
in user interface between them. The underlying codebase is very similar.
