Examining the install.rdf file for 1.68, I believe SeaMonkey
compatibility was intentionally blocked.

For SeaMonkey, the install.rdf file has
  <!--SeaMonkey-->
  <Description RDF:about="rdf:#$dLacB4"
                   em:id="{92650c4d-4b8e-4d2a-b7eb-24ecf4f6b63a}"
                   em:minVersion="2.0a1"
                   em:maxVersion="2.6.*"
  />
Notice the "RDF:about", not the "em:maxVersion".

At the end of the install.rdf file, the line
that points to SeaMonkey has been commented out as
    <!--em:targetApplication RDF:resource="rdf:#$dLacB4"/-->
Notice the "RDF:resource", which should be pointing to the "RDF:about".
 However, strings bracketed between <!-- and --> are comments.
