Please review the referenced release notes for details.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All SeaMonkey users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/seamonkey-2.53.5.1"
Gentoo has discontinued support for the SeaMonkey binary package. We recommend that users unmerge the SeaMonkey binary package:
# emerge --unmerge “www-client/seamonkey-bin”
NOTE: The Gentoo developer(s) maintaining the SeaMonkey binary package have discontinued support at this time. It may be possible that a new Gentoo developer will update it at a later date. The alternative is using the standard SeaMonkey package.
