This misrepresents their relationship. The reverse is closer to the truth,
though still doesn't fully illuminate their tangled history.

Firefox was originally based on SeaMonkey, but in more recent years, most
of the work on the core, shared components has been done in Firefox, with
improvements ported across to SeaMonkey.

In recent months, the Mozilla Foundation seems to have cut SeaMonkey and
even Thunderbird adrift. I ponder their decisions.
