Dear Walt or Dirk or...,
   my question is where are program files located? I ask you to place the
downloaded Seamonkey files in the right folder. Looking other program as
example, I haven't seen all their files in the folder usr/share/ in every
corresponding program (sub)folder.
   Creating a launcher seems easy with this link sent by you (thank you
very much).
   Best regards,

You can't expect extracting an archive into /opt to add an application
menu item because those are in /usr/share/applications (or under the
user's home directory). A package installation should include steps
equivalent to those in the linked instructions.

For the sort of user who expects to find an application menu item, it's
yet another good reason for installing from a package rather than an
archive.
