This is not to dissuade you from trying MonkeyMenu, which in addition to the many other GUI and functional enhancements afforded by it, does offer the user to add a Go Up button to the Navigation Toolbar, but I have finally found a solution for having the Go Up feature available in Seamonkey-- without the need to install the MonkeyMenu extension , without the need to install MonkeyMenu. The solution is EZNav, by Devon Jensen, creator of another, ever-popular Mozilla / Firefox addon, ‘ Download Statusbar ’.

EZNav & Seamonkey Compatibility

It is unfortunate for the Seamonkey user who might try to use the latest release of EZNav, available at AMO (Addons.Mozilla.Org), because it has (at the time of writing) not yet been made compatible with Seamonkey-- even if that version of Seamonkey is 1.1.x, and has been enabled to install an added assortment of extensions, made possible via the XSidebar extension.

To extend Seamonkey with the EZNav add-on, you must use EZNav v.1.0-- available at Addons.Mozilla.Org, under the EZNav complete Version History. I have had no problems with using EZNav 1.0 together with Seamonkey, but I can not guarantee that you'll have the same experience.
