Seamonkey support #86

I prefer SeaMonkey as my all in one internet suite, but I am disappointed to see that it does not support SeaMonkey. Ambassador was and still is my favorite IRC client, especially since I have had trouble getting the default ChatZilla to work properly, but I have had no such problems with Ambassador, it has a cooler name too! My main problem with Pale Moon is security, although SeaMonkey uses an older version of Gecko, much like Pale Moon, it still has the latest security patches, and until such things are fixed on Pale Moon, I simply cannot switch back. I hope that SeaMonkey support is added soon, but for now I have switched back to Hexchat.

I'm not sure why you'd want Ambassador when most, if not all its improvements (especially IRCv3) have been backported to SeaMonkey's ChatZilla. I think ascrod never really meant his IRC client to be used in a suite, considering that the window menu is missing. Fun fact: I tried including Ambassador in an SeaMonkey-style UXP application I'm developing privately, and it didn't go well.

Also what do you mean by "My main problem with Pale Moon is security"? PM is perfectly secure and safe to use. If you look at the release notes and commit log at the UXP repo it is transparent with its security fixes. In fact I'd argue that Pale Moon is more secure than SeaMonkey or Waterfox Classic (both of them use the same Firefox 56 codebase as their fork point). SeaMonkey and Waterfox haven't fixed CVE-2019-11730 (tracked by bug 1558299) for example; look at this xref. Then here's the same file but in Pale Moon's platform.
