Regarding Flash problems: there's now an (experimental) alternative to Adobe's official plugin: https://github.com/mozilla/shumway It's a Flash renderer written in Javascript, a similar approach to the PDF.js viewer that has been a part of Firefox since version 15. Shumway has recently landed into the Firefox trunk, so it's probably quite mature. PDF.js hasn't been incorporated into Seamonkey, but I think it's available as an extension; Shumway also apparently is available as a xpi. I haven't tried it, but it might be useful for some problems. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm. Unauthorized use will be prosecuted under the DMCA. -=-=- ...
