If you are unhappy at not being able to use the Tab Mix Plus extension with SeaMonkey, then this post may help you somewhat.
In an attempt to
emulate the functionalities of Tab Mix Plus in current SeaMonkey, I have been piece-mealing together a collection of other smaller add-ons.
So far, I have 5, for adding various subsets of what Tab Mix Plus can do, and I have tested all of these to work properly on the now-current version 2.29.1 of SeaMonkey.
Some of these are NOT on the AMO site, which is why they may be hard to find, as well as that some of their titles are not sufficiently self-explanatory of their specific functions.
If you are a taboholic like me, you NEED these functionalities !
Tabs Open Relative - version 0.3.3 (Modified for SeaMonkey by a new author)
The web page with the direct download link is here :
»
xsidebar.mozdev.org/modi ··· relativeThe first link (of two) at that page gives the version which is intended for SeaMonkey.
This extension forces all new tabs to be opened to the
immediate right of the current tab, regardless of how the new tab was requested, and regardless of whether there are any other tabs already open to the right of the current tab.
It is a modified edition of a FireFox extension, specifically altered for SeaMonkey.
Here is the recent thread at Mozillazine forum in which it is mentioned :

Duplicate This Tab - version 1.3
»
addons.mozilla.org/en-US ··· rprofileCreates a duplicate of the current tab, and it alone can be told where to put the duplicate tab, and whether or not to focus on it, even without the 'Tabs Open Relative' add-on
It will install as-is into SeaMonkey, and has worked fine for ME, even though the web page suggests that it is not compatible.
Tab Clicking Options - version 0.6.9.2.0 (updated by a new author)
»
www.binaryturf.com/free- ··· irefox-4Allows the user to specify various actions which will happen if we click on a tab in various ways other than a single left-click or a single right-click, which themselves will still do what they normally do
The link leads to version 0.6.9.2.0 , and version 0.6.9.2.1 will be offered as an update on the add-ons page of SeaMonkey.
I don't seem to have a web page link for version 0.6.9.2.1 of this update, though I somehow managed to accumulate an offline copy of the .XPI file for it, so if I find a link for the newer .XPI file, I'll edit this post or add it in a followup.

New Tab Toolbar ButtonThough not a specific function of Tab Mix Plus, this add-on provides a MOVABLE button for opening a new tab, as the original SeaMonkey tiny default button for this purpose cannot be moved to a more convenient location as is possible in most other Mozilla browsers (BTW, I have also found CSS code which will hide the original SM New Tab button, but none to let it be moved).
There are 4 steps to make this one work with SeaMonkey (and not all add-ons respond to this procedure) :
(1) Using FIREFOX, download the .XPI file by right-clicking on the button and 'Saving Link Target As', from HERE :
»
addons.mozilla.org/en-US ··· -button/(Some add-ons to convert will download fine in SeaMonkey, but not THIS one.)
(2) Switch to SEAMONKEY to Upload and CONVERT the .XPI file, to make it compatible for SeaMonkey at THIS site :
»
addonconverter.fotokraina.com/(Thanks to 'Lemon Juice' for the site !)
(3) Save the converted .XPI file back to your computer.
(4) In SEAMONKEY, use the 'Install Add-on from File' function of SeaMonkey's Add-ons page to install it.
BTW, SeaMonkey by default still has the 'New Tab' choice in the Tab Context Menu (as does Internet Explorer), something which TMP can restore to FireFox, since FireFox removed this crucially convenient function ages ago.
