i don’t know how to add/remove software packages in general,
i’m an endeavouros newbie
I want to install Seamonkey
a terminal command, maybe?
The default package manger on Arch based distros is pacman.
Please read through the ArchWiki article on pacman:
First make sure your system is up-to-date:
sudo pacman -Syu
Then install seamonky:
sudo pacman -S seamonkey

Hi! I suggest to familiarize yourself first with pacman and AUR and read up a bit. When you start eos you have a welcome app with useful links to articles and information to get you started on your journey. Ever heard of pacman?
I would start here for example

sudo pacman -S seamonkey
this command installed an old version of seamonkey in my system
so it was impossible to enter the endeavouros forum
(now, i’m writing using Falkon, not seamonkey)
how can i update ONLY seamonkey ???
(i have already updated my system with sudo pacman -Syu)
That would be the currently available version in the stable repos.
However there is a newer one in the Testing as well:
https://archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=seamonkey&maintainer=&flagged=
You might want to try that one:
sudo pacman -U https://mirror.moson.org/arch/community-testing/os/x86_64/seamonkey-2.53.14-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
Edit:
How interesting! While I was writing the above, the newer version got moved to the stable repo 
You could just update your system to get the latest version currently available on Arch.
