On XP Pro, that stupid Flash plugin container tried to start as Sea
Monkey
2.21 was starting! It should not start unless I decide to start Flash
Player
which is controlled by a toggle switch and can't start until I give
permission. Plus, none of the tabs that were loading have any Flash
Player
video on them and the Proxomitron blocks all ads that might use Flash.
So,
I told Process Guard to deny Flash Plugin container from running. I've
never
had a problem doing that in the past but I guess 2.21 won't allow one to
control Flash Player as when I did that Sea Monkey froze and then
crashed.
I tried starting it in Safe Mode and same thing, it is not allowed to
load
Flash Plugin container so it freezes and crashes. I thought Safe Mode
disabled plugins? Evidently not...so what is the purpose of Safe Mode?
I updated Flash Player recently and for some stupid reason that activates
it
on Fx and SeaMonkey disregarding my plugin settings where I had it
disabled.
If I disable it then SeaMonkey should not crash because Flash plugin
container two processes won't try to load. So, if I can start SeaMonkey
offline would that work so I could disable Flash plugin?
(The real problem is that no browser should automatically grab a plugin.
I
remember when they did not and they still should not do that).
On openSUSE 12.3 Linux opening SeaMonkey to the default home page
<http://www.seamonkey-project.org/start/> does not start the plugin
container.
Setting "plugins.click_to_play" to true and setting all plugins to "Ask to
Activate", did not start the plugin container when I went to
<http://www.cbsnews.com/video/>.
Clicking "Activate Adobe Flash" in the blank video window did start the
plugin container.
You do still have control.
That's nice to hear and it doesn't surprise me. The problem for me with
using Linux is that I can't use the Proxomitron unless I try through WINE.
It's my most important application and I won't give it up.
My procedure should work the same with Windows.
I don't know about a ten year old dead application Proxomitron. Wonder
how many security holes it has?

Many current browsers do contain features similar to those provided by
Proxomitron filters – blocking advertisements and pop-ups, for example.
Other browser features or add-ons, such as Greasemonkey for Firefox and
user stylesheets/scripts for Opera, also allow for local modification of
web pages.
