Is there any way to use "ask to activate" so they will only start when you tell them to? The only thing I found that works against HTML5 is Flashblock. You have to run it through the converter to install it in SeaMonkey, and if you want to play the HTML5 item, you need to switch it off completely. Fortunately, it provides a toolbar button you can use to toggle it on or off. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Don't autoplay sounds, animations, videos
Hi, In SeaMonkey there's an amazing feature where you can "ask to activate". This can be set with the Adobe Flash plugin, and will prevent the Flash animation from starting until you tell it to. I think there used to be a similar feature for animated gifs, and sounds.
