Firefox and possible replacement(s) - was - Re: An operating system with all the usual tools, but without news and ads

I have changed the subject, as the thread appears to have been what I 
have renamed the subject, rather than being about operating systems.

So,

1. what are the differences between Waterfox and Firefox (and Seamonkey, 
apart from Seamonkey also incorporating its email application);

2. can Waterfox be installed and run, concurrently with Firefox and 
Seamonkey;

3. does Waterfox use chrome or gecko as its underlying engine (Firefox, 
like Thunderbird, apparently uses chrome, resulting in frequent 
javascript crashes ("Unresponsive script(s)" ); and,

4. is Waterfox available as a package that can be installed and updated, 
using the package managers, like Seamonkey can be done via ubuntuzilla?
