It may be risky, and no guarantees it will work, but I have been running 
with it for 3 days (many power cycles, and many
exit/run SM cycles) with no problems.  Uninstalled Flash, and the 
pandacams work, as do all the vimeo videos, and
various other videos that previously either would not work or required 
Flash.  And it works in FireFox as well.


Involves replacing two SeaMonkey files (mozavcodec.dll, mozavutil.dll) 
with Pale Moon versions, and adding a windows

file, vcomp140.dll, if not already there.

Maybe this could be included in the next SeaMonkey release?


Or in its release notes/web site.
