The problem with Firefox 44 and greater is, that Mozilla removed the cookie
prompt from core Firefox, namely the "Ask me every time" option for "Keep
[cookies] until:". This affects all browsers that use the Gecko rendering
engine, including Seamonkey.
The relevant bugs are here:

Hi there.
After Firefox 44.0 was released, it turned out, that it lost the
cookie confirmation dialog, and upgrading to version 44.0 also deleted
all per-site permissions for cookies. It's a reduction of privacy
options, and also introduces some dataloss.
All this was achieved in Mozilla Bug
Should NoScript Anywhere be included by default in IceCatMobile, given
that it's more a privacy-oriented browser?
If so, then the IceCatMobile first-start/welcome page should contain a
notification about NoScript and some quick instructions, so that
people won't be confused that IceCat breaks

One issue is, that IceCatMobile fails to show its own user agent string,
and uses a UA string of

Hi.
While I thought it possible to get 38.8.0 as a separate APK from the
F-Droid website, then alas. Currently, the earliest is 45.5.1:

they're still downloadable

..using Torbrowser as a base, because it is its own thing now. Since
torbrowser upstreams many of its patches, then it's just as good to
take stuff from upstream, as I see the requirement for a
general-purpose browser that's better, of less bloat, and has slightly
better security

Vote #1 — integrate old cookie prompt into the next ESR, and then develop
it further. This will bring more users to IceCat.
An add-on is not a good idea, because people not familiar with it would

If you click on an anchor in IceCat 38.8, then the URL in the address bar
does change; so, if you activate the address bar (w/ blinking cursor) and
presss the return key on the keyboard, the browser will make the jump.
Thereafter, jumping to anchors from links should works on that page.

There are additional font size settings in about:config, if you search

The about:config solution is one, though in some operating systems,
