Not sure about tar-3, but you can try extracting the file (in a 
terminal) by writing:  tar -xjf seamonkey-2.26.tar-3.bz2  and hopefully 
you will have a file in
the type of file-manager system that Ubuntu uses. (rpm or debian--I 
think debian).  Then if that's the case, just install it the usual way.
