I do not know why Mozilla has so many browsers and would like to use just one so what is best, why not stay with Sea Monkey?

On Windows, the only official Mozilla browser is Firefox.

A lot of users like SeaMonkey, an independent project that uses some of the code of Firefox. As you know, it's more than a web browser.

Firefox is the only desktop web browser Mozilla makes for Windows, Mac OSX 10.9+ and Linux.

SeaMonkey is a community effort to keep the old Mozilla Application Suite going after Mozilla discontinued it after the Mozilla 1.7.13 Release back on April 21, 2006.

Unfortunately the SeaMonkey community has had some issues at times in getting Releases out due to build servers and other reasons.

Maybe you should ask the opposite.

Why did you choose SeaMonkey in the first place? Was that because you wanted the extra features SeaMonkey includes? Are you no longer satisfied with SeaMonkey that you consider to switch?
