As reported many times in the past, this is not necessary. SeaMonkey can use various plugins that are not in the SeaMonkey plugins directory. In my setup, Flash, Java, and Micro$oft's Media Player all work just fine while their plugins remain in their non-SeaMonkey directories. When SeaMonkey reports that Flash is not installed, it's actually the Web site making that report. The server is sniffing for Firefox, not Gecko. No amount of moving the Flash plugin will correct this invalid sniffing. Only changing the UA string (e.g., via PrefBar or User Agent Switcher) will correct this until the Web site owner fixes the way the server sniffs or (best) creates a Web site that doesn't need sniffing. -- David E.

You can access Mozdev much more quickly than you can Mozilla Add-Ons. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
