It's true that the meaning of plugins.click_to_play has changed recently. 
However the basic functionality is still there; it just moved to the Add-ons 
Manager (Plugins section) where you can now control per plugin whether it 
should be activated by default or not.

I just checked with [1] and a current SM nightly that clicking one plugin 
instance only activates that one. Is that different for you?

Have you tried Firefox 24? There is NO option to show just one element - its all or 
nothing - clicking on ANY element will open that "doorhanger" thing that asks 
to activate plugins on this page or not - you dont have any control over which element 
will be loaded.

The OP was asking if thats in store for Seamonkey too. I certainly hope not. 
They should have put a tickbox or some sort of switch in there to leave the 
option to use the older version of ctp. But the devs argue that it would add 
too much complexity for a sub-feature not routinely used.

PS. The Firefox devs have some downright hilarious "case study" done about this with 15 people who dont have 
a clue what they are doing ("average people"). The "result" is that the are bothered by one extra 
click to see that video on youtube - some even said they actually want to see whats on the ads. If its a real 
"study", that is (i wont be shocked to see the advertisers hand in this one). Unfortunately i dont have the 
link to the .pdf right now.
