Let's hope so. They will probably wait until the last minute or next 
year to do that. Our coronavirus crisis isn't helping too. :(

Understood.. But it was not 100% until Microsoft released on (September 9, 
2019) that it will pull it from IE and Edge (just rebuilt on the chromium 
platform that hate flash to say the least.. It will still kinda render SWF file 
but completely ignores CFSWF files. )

That is not strictly true.  HTML5 autoplay is disabled.  There should still be
a play button you can click to get it to play, in most cases.  There are a few
sites where you need autoplay enabled to get the video to play even after you
click the play button, but I have an extension that gives me a button to
toggle the setting.


By default, I have media.autoplay.enabled set to false.  When there is a
video I want to play, I use PrefBar to change it to true (selecting a
checkbox on the PrefBar tool bar).  I then reload the Web page, and the
video plays.


How do you change "autoplay.enabled" (or not) in PrefBar?  I don't have
that option in my 'PrefBar Options'...  Is that one I didn't include at
the time of installation -- and how can I get in my PrefBar now?



It is a checkbox that I created and added to PrefBar.  Creating such
checkboxes is easy.

If you want my checkbox, do the following:

1.  Go to .

2.  Right-click on HTML5_media.btn, select "Save Link Target As" from
the pull-down context menu, and indicate in the resulting window where
you want to download the file.

3.  Right-click on the PrefBar tool bar, and select "Customize PrefBar"
in the pull-down context menu.

4.  In the list of PrefBar objects on the right side of the PrefBar
window, under Enabled Items, right-click and select Import in the
pull-down context menu.

5.  In the resulting window, navigate to where you saved
HTML5_media.btn, select the file, and then select the Open button.

6.  The checkbox will have been added to the bottom of the Enabled Items
list as "HTML5 Media".  You can drag it up to another position, which
will determine where on the PrefBar toolbar it will appear.

With a checkmark in the checkbox, HTML5 media is enabled.  With no
checkmark, it is disabled.

After inporting the checkbox into PrefBar, you can deleted the
HTML5_media.btn file from where you downloaded it.  In two weeks, I will
remove the file from my Web site.



I have gone to your site and download HTML_media.btn and installed and
everything went great. However, it is at the bottom of the list how do I
move up the list?

What am I overlooking?

Thank you,
Danny



See my step #6.  You do that in the PrefBar window that was launched in
step #3.




Yes, I saw that but though I misunderstood, because when I click on it
it will not drag. If I click on any of the other they will not drag
either. Do you have any idea why?



I just now tried it, and I was able to move a button by dragging it.  I
tried it again, specifically with the HTML5 Media checkbox; and I was
able to move it.

Oops!!  My error  You have to left-click on the item under Enabled

I have resolved the problem! I upgraded PrefBar from Version 7.0.1 to 
Version 7.1.1. I can now drag and drop items in the list and move them.

I just now tried it, and I was able to move a button by dragging it.  I
tried it again, specifically with the HTML5 Media checkbox; and I was
able to move it.

Oops!!  My error  You have to left-click on the item under Enabled
Items, not right-click.  As you drag the item, the cursor is an arrow;
you should see a small rectangular outline attached to the bottom of the
arrow.  The destination of the item will at the point of the arrow when
you release the left mouse button.

NOTE:  You can also drag from Available Items to Enabled Items or
vice-versa.

If you are running SeaMonkey 2.53.1 b1 you can easily turn autoplay 
using the preferences.  Open Preferences and click on Appearance->Media 
and uncheck the box "Enable Autoplay of HTML5 media content".

It's been a long time since I changed anything in my PrefBar, but I do 
know about its possibilities; by the way you described it, I didn't know 
if this was a 'PrefBar standard option' which I had neglected to add, or 
one added later (in this case, I now know, by yourself).


Thanks also for your generous offer:


If you want my checkbox, do the following:

1.  Go to .

2.  Right-click on HTML5_media.btn, select "Save Link Target As" from
the pull-down context menu, and indicate in the resulting window where
you want to download the file.


As I said, it's been years since I last customized PrefBar, so I didn't 
even remember where my 'PrefBar addons' were stored.  Turns out I had a 
folder named "PrefBar Buttons"... with none for video, as was to be 
expected.



3.  Right-click on the PrefBar tool bar, and select "Customize PrefBar"
in the pull-down context menu.

4.  In the list of PrefBar objects on the right side of the PrefBar
window, under Enabled Items, right-click and select Import in the
pull-down context menu.

5.  In the resulting window, navigate to where you saved
HTML5_media.btn, select the file, and then select the Open button.

6.  The checkbox will have been added to the bottom of the Enabled Items
list as "HTML5 Media".  You can drag it up to another position, which
will determine where on the PrefBar toolbar it will appear.

With a checkmark in the checkbox, HTML5 media is enabled.  With no
checkmark, it is disabled.

After inporting the checkbox into PrefBar, you can deleted the
HTML5_media.btn file from where you downloaded it.  In two weeks, I will
remove the file from my Web site.


I've added your "HTML5_media.btn"; I suppose none of the other files in 
your "(http://www.rossde.com/)test" folder have anything to do with 
this, so I left them alone; thanks once more.


After a 'trip down memory lane', I remembered that I do have an 
installed extension for this, but it's been ages since I last saw it in 
use; it's "YouTube Flash Video Player" 54.0.1, from Baris Derin; It 
offers 2 options, "HTML5 Video Player" & "Flash Video Player", but I 
don't remember if there's some way to toggle them without opening the 
addon's Options, which makes it rather inconvenient (and is probably why 
I forgot about it); as far as I can recall, during a phase, some time 
ago, I did try both options and, not noticing any significant change, 
dropped the matter.


My "media.autoplay.enabled" Pref is set to 'false', but the addon option 
is set to "HTML5 Video Player", so I don't know what SM makes of that; 
possibly, the Pref has precedence, which might explain why I didn't 
notice any difference when switching the options...


I currently use the "Video Downloader Professional" 1.97.37.1 extension 
(for video downloads, natch, but it doesn't always work for YouTube); 
previously, I used "Video Downloader Helper", but some time ago switched 
to the current one.  However, when it can't DL a video, good old "Clip 
Grab" usually saves the day.

By default, I have media.autoplay.enabled set to false.  When there is a
video I want to play, I use PrefBar to change it to true (selecting a
checkbox on the PrefBar tool bar).  I then reload the Web page, and the
video plays.

With media.autoplay.enabled set to false, I just now loaded a YouTube
Web page with Bizet's L'Arlésienne Suites No. 1 & No. 2.  There was no
button to start the video.  I then changed media.autoplay.enabled to
true, but there still was no way to play the video.  The video started
after I reloaded the Web page; at that point, buttons did appear.

Thank you for those that replied,



Glad to see that it's working again.

Going one step further, I think chances are pretty high that you don't 
need Flash at all, and it's likely to be safe to uninstall entirely.


I removed Flash a couple of years ago, and I've only seen a couple of 
sites that complain about Flash not being available, and they're not 
ones that I care about delivering video content.  I've had no problems 
at all with YouTube and not having Flash installed.


With proprietary video players, I've found that it's generally best to 
uninstall everything, unless you know that you have specific need for 
one. If you encounter a site that requires a specific player, they'll be 
quick to let you know (and generally offer you a link for a download). 
But until you know you need a specific player, you don't need it.


If the only reason that you have Flash is for YouTube, I suggest that 
you uninstall it.  One less potential security issue, and one less thing 
that you have to maintain with timely updates.

OK. Yeah, I have both of those. I use PrefBar to toggle between. I hope

Hmm, I don't think YouTube uses Flash anymore. Can you try a brand new

if you still have this problem?

Danny, the (lat/new)est version from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. 
Currently, it is at 32.0.0.330. FYI, Adobe usually release a new version 
every second Tuesday of each month. Once in a while, there is no new 
version and a new version not on the second Tuesday of the month.

It happens on all pages that have flash.

I think it has something to do with the Lastpass plugin, but I've replicated 
the previous instructions, to remove LastPass from Seamonkey/Firefox that had 
been received from Seamonkey plugin page, unfortunately Lastpass.com tries to 
instal using the plugin manager as well.  I was able to find a stand alone 
installer, but it doesn't include seamonkey in the "Select Browser to instal 
in" section.

Please advise.

Have you tried clearing Flash cookies?

That is why it is a good idea to have an adblocker as well as a

Thanks for the info.  Blacklisting is what A/V programs do & they
leave much to be desired -- an opinion the Yse Script author shares:
"Unlike NoScript, YesScript does absolutely nothing to improve your
security. "   We differ on "... Firefox is secure enough by default
and that blocking all scripts by default is paranoia. "Maybe he
hasn't read things like
  https://blog.avast.com/2015/08/20/infected-ad-networks-hit-popular-websites/
This week security researchers discovered booby-trapped
advertisements on popular
websites including eBay, The Drudge Report, weather.com, and AOL.
The ads, some of
which can be initiated by a drive-by attack without the user’s
knowledge or even any
action, infected computers with adware or locked them down with ransomware.

> Did not like No Script.

I hear ya - but the alternatives if you do enable JS aren't all that great.

Many others claim Flash is indeed dangerous in that it allows malware
access to your computer.  Since security vulnerabilities in Flash are
not found as frequently as such vulnerabilities in various versions of
Windows, I do not worry about that.

However, I often find Flash to be annoying.  While I have Flash
installed, I also have the Flashblock extension installed and enabled.
For SeaMonkey, get Flashblock 1.3.20 (NOT 1.5.17) from
<http://flashblock.mozdev.org/>.



You don't really need Flashblock anymore.  Just set to "Always ask" in
the add-ons manager.




I am not sure, but I think that enabling Flash from an "Always ask"
setting will enable it for all the Flash on the current Web page.  Some

one Flash I select without playing the others on the same page.

With Firefox now, the click-to-play permission is per site, but not with 
SeaMonkey.  SM still treats click-to-play as per item.

That is not Flash Player.  It's an extension
specifically designed to
force You Tube to deliver videos using Flash
rather than HTML5.

If you need the Flash Player/plugin go
download/install it from:

<https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/>

Remember to UNcheck the McAfee Optional offer.


A better place to get the Flash player is here:
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html


There is no extra crap dumped on you from that page.



As someone who knows about these things, would YOU recommend that
Mozilla Flash Extension over using the (now resident?) HTML5 player.

Sometimes (not always) YouTube Videos (especially music ones) are choppy
and have pauses, etc.

Would I NOT have that with the Mozilla Extension ?


It is not Mozilla Flash, but Adobe Flash, and it is a plugin, not an 
extension.


I do not think HTML5 is ready for prime time yet.  It still does things 
I do not like, like defaulting to the lowest possible resolution.

The current version of SM is 2.39; running SM 2.33.1 is unsafe.

As long as you eschew using an admin account for general use )
Use the admin account for administering the machine & use an account
with no privileges for general use -- like using Flash & SM 2.33.1

And use things like
https://www.virustotal.com/
https://malwr.com/submission/

to check out a program before installing it.

Well, each user is different. Some go to sites that when you allow Flash 
for the whole site, just to watch the video you are interested in, will 
play the little sport game snippet of the day, or an ad, or some other 
tiny video down the page that the user doesn't see.


That said, I don't use Flashblock and rarely encounter that situation.

On my local news site I do occasionally see the sports video playing on 
the home page with no sound.

OKI read about that, but don't understand Flash from HTML5 (or a
hole in the ground!).

I just ran https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp0BjFl-a1Y and right clicked
it.
A menu says 'about HTML5 player' at the bottom.
So I have an HTML5 resident player ?
Where did THAT come from !?



The HTML5 spec includes playing videos natively, no plugins/extensions 
needed.  So, any browser that supports HTML5 will handle it.



I get many web sites that have a big brown (?) square and a message that
says I need to download a player.  Of course I don't click on the
download link - fishing for me to download a Trojan or Maleware ?



Depends on the site.  And the player it wants you to DL.


Somehow YouTube now works?  I have no idea why, since I did not download
anything to play it - I THINK !



At some point you updated to a SeaMonkey version that included HTML5 
video capability.



I am guessing that I do not have any control over what SM is doing !


Depends on what you want to control.

That is not Flash Player.  It's an extension specifically designed to
force You Tube to deliver videos using Flash rather than HTML5.

If you need the Flash Player/plugin go download/install it from:

<https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/>

Remember to UNcheck the McAfee Optional offer.


A better place to get the Flash player is here:
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

There is no extra crap dumped on you from that page.

Many others claim Flash is indeed dangerous in that it allows malware
access to your computer.  Since security vulnerabilities in Flash are
not found as frequently as such vulnerabilities in various versions of
Windows, I do not worry about that.

However, I often find Flash to be annoying.  While I have Flash
installed, I also have the Flashblock extension installed and enabled.
For SeaMonkey, get Flashblock 1.3.20 (NOT 1.5.17) from
<http://flashblock.mozdev.org/>.

OKI read about that, but don't understand 
Flash from HTML5 (or a hole in the ground!).


I just ran 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp0BjFl-a1Y and 
right clicked it.

A menu says 'about HTML5 player' at the bottom.
So I have an HTML5 resident player ?
Where did THAT come from !?

I get many web sites that have a big brown (?) 
square and a message that says I need to download 
a player.  Of course I don't click on the download 
link - fishing for me to download a Trojan or 
Maleware ?


Somehow YouTube now works?  I have no idea why, 
since I did not download anything to play it - I 
THINK !


I am guessing that I do not have any control over 
what SM is doing !

flash player issue - please help

[David]

For some reason, version 16.0.0.235 of flash player still shows as being 
installed in seamonkey. I have used the uninstall utility for flash 
player and deleted every location flash player exists then cleaned out 
the registry and still that version says it exists in seamonkey. It also 
still exists in firefox and for some reason, I can not get rid of it. 
Nor can I find it anywhere on my computer. I thought I would send this 
up to you in case you have some idea of why and how to get it not to 
show up in my addons. I have the latest version of flash installed and 
it works just fine so no issues with it. Thanks for any ideas and help.

Re: Adobe Flash player v18.0 b203 plugin crashing?

[Ant]

I am not crashing but I can no longer go to full screen any more.
However, I am on SM 2.36. It's likely something that's not fixed in
2.33.1 that is in later version of SM. You could always try the 2.35
contrib build
(https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/~akalla/unofficial/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-release-windows32/)
which *should* wind up being what is basically built from FF 38.1ESR
release to be released soon. Keep your installer for 2.33.1 handy in
case you need to revert back.


Is that an official build that QA testers are using for the final release?


I think so yes. It was Phil Chee who was mentioning it being built in
the How Dead is Seamonkey thread from a couple days ago.

Thanks. From those links, I don't see them mention about Flash?


I would imagine you'd have to dig through the Firefox bugs to see what
Flash stuff got fixed between FF36 and FF39. So what I am saying is
that between SM 2.33.1 and SM 2.35 (or 2.36), this crashing may have
been fixed but you would have to find out that info on your own.
Personally, I'm having good luck thus far on 64-bit SM 2.36.


It seems like Firefox and other Mozilla web browsers are having crashes 
too. Also, Adobe will be releasing another version this week so I am 
going to wait. I think this is an Adobe's issue, not Mozilla's and 
SeaMonkey's.

Haven't seen it on my Win7 system, FWIW.

But I have noticed over the years that the Flash installers often don't 
remove older versions of the plugin. I have no special reason to think 
that's a problem, but whenever I notice it I delete them.

above 2.5GB. Seamonkey goes to around 500MB.

Closing the pages I suspect to be causing the trouble makes the memory
usage go way down.

It seems to occur when there are ads that look like gifs, ie they just
repeat over and over.  I usually see messages in the message area that
say things like "Waiting for .".

I don't want to block the ads.

A good site to see this problem is www.fark.com, although it's not the
only one.  It doesn't always happen. Ads that are unchanging, which I
suspect are either jpegs or pngs,  don't seem to cause the problem.

My version of Explorer doesn't seem to have the same problems although
it has popped up some message about scripts being disabled and it
sometimes leaves the advertising area on www.fark.com blank, so maybe
it's detecting something.

The memory usage slows down Seamonkey's response time making for a
less than pleasant browsing experience.

TIA for any suggestions.


lruss said he/she didn't want to block the ads.

If the issue is .gif animations doing an infinite loop:

Edit - Preferences - Privacy & Security - Images.  Under "Animated

Closing the pages I suspect to be causing the trouble makes the memory usage go 
way down.

It seems to occur when there are ads that look like gifs, ie they just repeat over and 
over.  I usually see messages in the message area that say things like "Waiting for 
.".

I don't want to block the ads.

A good site to see this problem is www.fark.com, although it's not the only 
one.  It doesn't always happen. Ads that are unchanging, which I suspect are 
either jpegs or pngs,  don't seem to cause the problem.

My version of Explorer doesn't seem to have the same problems although it has 
popped up some message about scripts being disabled and it sometimes leaves the 
advertising area on www.fark.com blank, so maybe it's detecting something.

The memory usage slows down Seamonkey's response time making for a less than 
pleasant browsing experience.

TIA for any suggestions.

Memory and Flash Player.

[lruss]

I'm using 
Windows 7 pro SP1
Seamonkey 2.32.1
Shockwave Flash 32_16_0_0_305

2.5GB. Seamonkey goes to around 500MB.

I decided to try something, I shut down SeaMonkey and edited the

didn't SeaMonkey get the right version number when it was updated?


In my experience, the Flash updaters often fail to remove previous 
versions, so SeaMonkey will see two or more and have to choose. I don't 
know if it chooses well, but when I have a moment and I think of it, I 
usually go and delete the old files, which seems to do no harm.


On my Win7 system, the path is:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\

And the current files are:
NPSWF32_16_0_0_296.dll
FlashUtil32_16_0_0_296_Plugin.exe
FlashPlayerPlugin_16_0_0_296.exe

If you've also installed it for IE, you'll see the following as well:
FlashUtil32_16_0_0_296_ActiveX.exe
FlashUtil32_16_0_0_296_ActiveX.dll
Flash32_16_0_0_296.ocx

Of course, the version numbers will differ; that's how you can tell them 
apart.

 Version: 11.2.202.438
 State: Enabled (STATE_VULNERABLE_UPDATE_AVAILABLE)
 Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202

Yet when I look in the package manager I see it shows as 11.2.202.440,
which is the current release per Adobe.  If I look at the file noted in
the path above I see the 11.2.202.440 string in it too, so why is
SeaMonkey reporting an older, vulnerable version?

The time stamp on the file shows 2015/01/23 18:16, so it is possible
that SeaMonkey has not been restarted since before it was
installed.  Is
there a way I can get SeaMonkey to reload plugins/add-ins short of a
shutdown/restart?


AFAICT the most current version is 16.0.0.296. But I'm on Windows 7, not
Linux. Useful links here:



I thought that version looked rather old as well. But this page (from
Adobe) lists current versions for each OS and browser:
   https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
and indeed for Mozilla on Linux, the latest is 11.2.202.440.

There shouldn't be any need to restart the whole OS. At worst,
restarting SeaMonkey should be sufficient to reload any plugins. A
couple of things which may be worth trying:
- Close all pages using Flash; maybe the plugin would be unloaded and
then reloaded next time you open a page which needs it..
- Disable Flash from the Add-ons Manager, then re-enable it; again,
maybe that will force a reload.

I'm no expert on Linux, but I think most Linux filesystems allow a file
which is in use (e.g. the Flash plugin in use by SeaMonkey) to be
overwritten (e.g. by the Flash updater), while the application already
using it keeps its handle on the original file. So looking at the file
with any other tool will see the new version, while SeaMonkey is still
using the old version. What happens "under the hood" is basically that
the new version of the file is written to disk, and the path updated to
reference that. But applications already using the file keep their
handle on the older version, which is not actually deleted until all
handles on it have been closed. This is what allows updates to be
applied to a running Linux system, and then affected applications can be
restarted after applying the update, minimising downtime.

The alternative, as Windows does, is to not allow files which are in use
to be replaced at all. In that case, SeaMonkey has to be closed while
Flash is being updated.

Well, I have tried several things and none of them have corrected the
problem.  I tried enabling and disabling the plugin, I restarted
SeaMonkey, I even shut SeaMonkey down and reinstalled the plugin from
the Synaptic Package Manager while it was shut down.  Nothing helped!

I still show the same situation.  The about:plugins shows the same as
above and inspecting the file shows the current release.  So why is
SeaMonkey still insisting that the old version is installed.

Interestingly, here is FireFox on the same system:

Shockwave Flash

 File: libflashplayer.so
 Path: /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
 Version: 11.2.202.440
 State: Enabled
 Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202

MIME TypeDescriptionSuffixes
application/x-shockwave-flashShockwave Flashswf
application/futuresplashFutureSplash Playerspl

So they point to the same file, but only FireFox gets it right?

Adobe pulled the plug on the Linux version of Flash. They still patch 
that version for security bugs but that is it. Maybe Flash will finally 
die as industry moves towards HTML 5.

Exactly what happens when you try to play these?

How about a sample URL?

Are you using the Flashblock extension? If you are using Flashblock then 
you may need to add the site you want to view video content to 
Flashblock's whitelist.


To add a site to Flashblock's whitelist go to the browser menu and click 
on Tools->Add-ons Manager->Extensions


You will see the extension Flashblock. Click on Flashblock's Preferences 
and then select Whitelist and add the site you want to use flash on. For 
example if you want to use flash on Youtube you would add the web 
address for Youtube (www.youtube.com) to the whitelist for flashblock.
