See how many clicks & pages it takes you to find the SeaMonkey pages.

Nope. Not there.

SeaMonkey isn't a "Product".
Hint: You can indeed get to a page with SeaMonkey on it from there...
see how easy it is for you to find it.
When you do get to the page, SeaMonkey is spelled 'Seamonkey'. Not only
do Mozilla dis SeaMonkey by hiding it three obscure pages in, but then
they spell it with a lowercase 'm'.
My we are a select & special project group aren't we?

Yes, I complained about this to Mozilla and they said if SeaMonkey hit 1
million download they'd put it next to Firefox on their front page,
which is BS since people can't find it easily, I told them that and that
previously SeaMonkey was next to FireFox on Mozilla front page, but they
played the fool. I think is because Goocle Chrome passed FireFox
downloads in 1 month/week and they want to "boost" FF download number.
Philosophically, I think this boils down to two things.
1. The desire of Mozilla to promote Firefox as a brand and downgrade
SeaMonkey to a "project" rather than a product. It's a brand identity
thing.
2. The SeaMonkey "brand" is little known in the community
comparatively. And Mozilla probably (I'm guessing now) would rather not
detract from the Firefox brand by acknowledging SeaMonkey's existence at
all. It is "the little engine that could." But they give it scant
support so how could they support it other than Web resources,
developmental infrastructure, etc. and still achieve their desired
branding goal of having Firefox be their premier product? They can't.
Just my tow cents, adjusted for inflation.
Personally, I find this and affront. Practically? I understand.
