These two files are created when Seamonkey has crashed and a crash
report has been sent to Mozilla developers.
I opened the file with the extension .extra and this is what I could read:
Theme=classic/1.0
StartupTime=1301702970
ServerURL=https://crash-reports.mozilla.com/submit
[email protected]:2.0.0,{59c81df5-4b7a-477b-912d-4e0fdf64e5f2}:0.9.86.1,[email protected]:2.0.9,{3d7eb24f-2740-49df-8937-200b1cc08f8a}:1.3.17,{f13b157f-b174-47e7-a34d-4815ddfdfeb8}:0.9.88.1,[email protected]:1.93.2.1,{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}:1.0,[email protected]:1.0
BuildID=20110320134435
ProductName=SeaMonkey
Vendor=Mozilla

The other file with the extension .dmp could be opened but only
contained meaningless text (at least to me). I believe the file with
.dmp is a dump of the state of Mozilla at the time of the crash which is
useful to developers when debugging SeaMonkey.

With the latest versions of Firefox and SeaMonkey, I note that my
profiles have new folders names "minidumps" each containing some files.
What are these?

I see the folders in all four of my profiles, but they are all empty.
Just before my folder began to have files - the first one is dated
10/06/2012 11:23
Could this caused by this windows update ?
Update for Windows 7 (KB2718704)

Okay. I dusted off my software test engineer hat -- which I put aside 9
years ago when I retired -- and did some investigating.
On my PC, the minidumps folders were created in my four SeaMonkey
profiles on 24 November 2011. I installed the Windows XP KB2718704 fix
on 4 June 2012, more than six months later. Thus, I do not think
minidumps has anything to do with the KB2718704 fix for any Windows
version.
The minidumps folder first appeared in my Thunderbird profile with TBird
3.0, which I installed on 10 December 2010. However, the folder now has
a creation date of 28 September 2011, which is when I installed TBird
7.0. I'm now at TBird 13.0.
I installed SeaMonkey 2.0.11 on 11 December 2010 (the day after TBird
3.0), but minidumps does not appear in my installation log for that
date. I installed SM 2.5 on 23 November 2011, the day before the
current creation date for the folder in my SM profiles. I'm now at SM
2.10.
I can't find any installation log for any software for 24 November 2011.
However, my logging sometimes fails, leaving me without any log.
My current software inventory also shows no installation done on that
date. My inventory only shows the most recent installation of a
software version, not a history. Thus, an installation on 24 November
2011 would be replaced in my inventory if I then install a later version
of the same software.
I just now deleted folder minidumps from my "guest" profile (not my
primary profile). I then switched to that profile. When I switched
back to my primary profile, the folder reappeared in my "guest" profile.
Thus, this folder appears to be a Mozilla artifact.
