User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070926 Fedora/2.0.0.6-11.fc8 Firefox/2.0.0.6

As far as I know there is no way to install the extensions in an automated way. Due to this no (Linux) distributions I am aware of ship Seamonkey 1.1 with translations (Debian does ship 1.0, there it was possible with some ugly sed magic).

It would be very nice if seamonkey supported "-install-global-extension" command line argument similarly to firefox, or something functionally equivalent.

Reproducible: Always

You don't need a specialized tool, just unzip the extension in appdir/extensions/_extension-id_

This would work for Firefox.
Would it also work for Seamonkey browser?
