Internally it is mostly the same software.

Originally there was Netscape, a combined program with a web browser,
e-mail client and HTML editor, then it was renamed to Mozilla, somebody
decided that it grew too large and ripped the web browser out of it
to be released as a separate program: Firefox.
At that time, people who wanted to continue to use the same e-mail
client ripped that out as well: Thunderbird.
The HTML editor wasn't successfully released as an independent program.
The original combined program then was renamed Mozilla Seamonkey.

Development continued and large modules of software (especially the
internals, a bit less the user interface appearance) were repeatedly
backported from Firefox and Thunderbird back into Seamonkey.

So it is not at all surprising that you see similar behavior between
those.  Also not that they can use eachothers config files and even
mailstore.
