A quick look the Composer component at bugzilla seems to indicate that
much of what it does is not working perfectly.

I don't expect it will be replaced, but IMO* the day will come when the
unmaintained Composer will be too far bitrotted to continue including
it with SeaMonkey.  You might want to start archiving SeaMonkey
installers, so you'll always have it handy.

  SeaMonkey's future with a big grain of salt.
