2.53 has the Firefox Library ported and should be compatible with at least 58.
2.49.x has an older version. But I agree. Just use a bookmarks export and redo
the profile.

Hello,
Seamonkey Navigator has been my main web browser for more than a year
now, but I still have a few user profiles left in Firefox.
What would be the best way to move these profiles to Seamonkey? I would
like to preserve as much of the original profiles as possible,
including:
- History
- Bookmarks
- Preferences
- Installed extensions, if compatible
(there are no webextensions)
- passwords and cookies
- userContent.css
Could/should I just move the profile directories to
$HOME/.mozilla/seamonkey and add them to profiles.ini?
(Is there some way I could then disable Mail&News only in these migrated
profiles?)
The file places.sqlite has history and bookmarks. I have no idea if they
are cross-compatible any more, however. Bookmarks are easy enough to
transfer. Back them up or export as HTML and restore or import into SeaMonkey.
SM v2.49.4's old places.sqlite will work in the newer Firefox versions, but
not in reversed. Firefox will upgrade it.
I imagine that some preference settings have changed, so comparing them by
comparing prefs.js files or from about:config would be a good idea. Since
SeaMonkey does newsgroups and email as well, there are a lot more preference
settings for it.
If the extensions for Firefox were also written for SeaMonkey, there would
be no problem, but I would check install.rdf in the .xpi files to make sure
that they would be compatible with the target app (SeaMonkey) version. If
the extensions were not written for SeaMonkey, then running them through the
converter website (http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/) might be able to
fix them. That would depend on whether the extension needs a specific
interface or not.
To transfer passwords, you need to copy key3.db and logins.json.
For cookies, you need cookies.sqlite.
You could simply copy the chrome directory into the new profile for
userContent.css.
For me, I usually skip all this, redo them from scratch, etc. since I only
care about my places.sqlite. Everything else can be recovered.
