Or you can stick with SeaMonkey. I continued to use Eudora Lite for E-mail long after it was no longer being updated. I switched to Thunderbird only when I was forced to change E-mail hosts, and Eudora Lite could not be configured to use the new host. That was about 7 years after the release of the last version of Eudora Lite. The problem with Webextensions is that not all of the capabilities of the 28 .xpi extensions that I now have -- and use - in SeaMonkey exist in Webextensions. The most serious lack is PrefBar, whose developer indicates cannot be replicated as a Webextension. He has made several separate Webextensions to cover some of the PrefBar capabilities, but he asserts that some just cannot be done. -- David E.
