No in zombie state and just keeps going :)

Well for every breakage fixed in the new builds you get 2 new because of other
"improvements" or removals of a few lines of code from core because they are
no longer used in Fx and are such a huuugggee burden on the codebase... The
motivation to keep up is maybe not so great anymore but SeaMonkey is still
building. I am loonking forward to the ESR 60 release so that we can finally
see what needs to be fixed.
We try but not enigh devs. But it has been declared dead for years and is
still running fine :)

YouTube has not worked in several months without switching to the Old
Version of YT. Once they force the switch on you, I won't be able to load YT
without it freezing and locking up when using scripts.
And Yahoo Mail no longer works now that they've forced you to the newer
version of their mail system. I tried to download and install the extension
User Agent Switcher, and guess what? SeaMonkey is not compatible with the
current version of that.. no surprise.
I'm guessing this browser will go out the same way the Mozilla Browser did..
and that sucks, because I've used Mozilla and SeaMonkey for most of my
history on the internet.

I'm using a build from Frank-Rainer of x64 2.53 and it works well with *some*
stuff still needing to be fixed. But it's stable for daily use. Youtube works.
Certainly I agree that Seamonkey is not maintained like it used to be but it's
because of the build system. But dead? Not quite yet. I don't think there's
been motivation to catch up since things have fallen so far behind and I
imagine it's very difficult to garner the will to want to catch up.
