I'm seeing a great amoung of blather in this thread that is quite contrary to my experience. First of all, when I go to <http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/>, the installation file downloads to whatever folder I specify. It does not install until I execute that file. I actually did download Flash 10.1 (actually 10.1.82.76) from that URI using SeaMonkey 2.0.6 exactly a week ago. I then installed it for SeaMonkey without any problems. Finally, I archived the installation file, which I do for ALL software and updates that I download and install. Note that the installation itself does not involve SeaMonkey. It only involves executing the installation file. I generally terminate all other applications while installing new or updated software. I definitely would not use SeaMonkey's Add-ons Manager since Flash is not an add-on. Today, I again downloaded the installation file from the same URI. This time, I generated both MD5 and SHA1 comparisons between the newly downloaded file and last week's archived file. The two files are identical. This means you too should be able to download the file via SeaMonkey and install it. Yes, Flash MIGHT set its own cookies. However, you can go to <http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html> and set Flash not to set cookies. -- David E.
