I do not want to be rude, to be critical, but the actual seamonkey UI is far away from the 90-90 rule and I let you check why.
This is a delicate subject because there is a reason why SeaMonkey's UI is the way it is - for many SM users the traditional "old-style" UI is one of its great features so I'm afraid you won't be able to influence too many changes in that area - however, it's not perfect and obviously there are things to improve like the (probably optional) close tab X's. Certainly, one of SM's features is that it is different from other browsers so merely trying to copy UI elements from other browsers without a really good reason - just because Chrome/Firefox/Edge have them - is not going to be accepted well. But of course, true usability improvements are always welcome!
Also, SM is not meant for 90% of population :). However, I think a 90yo grandma should have no problems with the UI at all because all the buttons and menu items have clear text labels and are not hidden anywhere - contrary to what other browsers often do. I think SM's UI is pretty easy to understand.
-> How to ? -> Who could I contact ?
A good place to start would be bugzilla.mozilla.org and filing enhancement bugs. However, I don't think the devs will act upon most of such suggestions because the team is small and now they have many more important and serious issues to deal with, which have to do with the survival and existence of SM. So if you have an idea and get a yes from the SM devs it would be good if you could yourself provide a patch in order to implement your suggested features.
