   Just a different distribution repository of Mozilla code.   
      
   As noted, my primary interest in ubuntuzilla is with Seamonkey. However,   
   if you're running Ubuntu, where snaps are are now the norm for Firefox   
   and Thunderbird at 24.04 releases, ubuntuzilla is one way of getting   
   those as .deb packages via apt, which allows you to get rid of snap, at   
   least those packages.   
      
   I haven't checked, but I believe that Mozilla now has an apt repository   
   for getting at least Firefox, and I know that xtradeb is another PPA   
   repository that's possible for both Firefox, but I don't think Thunderbird.   
      
   On the other hand, the only repository that I'm aware of that supports   
   Seamonkey is ubuntuzilla.   
      
   For me, the attraction of a PPA over doing some sort of manual download   
   and installation (whether source code install or just download of a .deb   
   and then installation with dpkg) is the ability to get updates via apt   
   along with all other available packages.
