That's new.

They must be getting desperate to stop people running away to other
browsers.


The plugin check code is tracked using bugzilla, so if you ever what to
know why a change was made you can search bugzilla. In this case, I
found <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1121456>.

That mentions restricting the plugin check page to Firefox, as opposed
to allowing IE and Chrome to use it. It's not clear whether it was
intended to block SeaMonkey as well, or just no-one though about
Mozilla-based browsers other than Firefox.

I couldn't see anything on Bugzilla about plugin check not working for
SeaMonkey, so have filed:
   https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1153573

One way or anther there seems to be a problem - either that plugin check
page should work with SeaMonkey, or SeaMonkey should stop trying to use it.

Plugin check now works for SeaMonkey. Thanks to those involved in fixing it (Philip Chee, Schalk Neethling, and possibly others), and to cmcadams for raising the problem here so it could be brought to their attention.

Mark.
