Is it possible to limit the number of instances of Seamonkey browser
that can be opened? My girlfriend often has 25 open then complains of
slow response.

On my Firefox browser, typing

about:config

in the URL box, brings up the internal preferences. If something
isn't offered in a "Preferences" type GUI, there is a chance it
may be buried in the config.

In Firefox, the closest conceptual one I can find is

browser.tabs.maxOpenBeforeWarn : 15

but that handles Tabbed browsing, where new windows are hidden
using the tab system.

Firefox has an add-on, claiming to do something like that
(limit open windows). Does Seamonkey use add-ons ?

Because the operating system controls processes. The operating
system knows what the process name is, and therefore it could
limit the number of instances.
