Hi!
I'm trying to access Flashpoint through SeaMonkey and it used to
work fine, but now it isn't. I get to the point of entering
SeaMonkey but it won't use Flash - I end up with a blank screen
except for the Flash "F" inside a box next to an information "i".
When I click it, another tab opens saying, "Secure Connection
Failed. The document contains no data. The page you are trying to
view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data
could not be verified." I've tried it with multiple links, all are
still active on their original sites. Nothing, though.
I have macOS Big Sur 11.1 and SeaMonkey 2.53.5.1 - which I've
un/reinstalled multiple times now, along with Flashpoint itself.
I've also double checked everything I know could be an issue. My
security and permissions are fine for allowing everything, all
extensions on SeaMonkey were disabled, I've tried Safe Mode and
normal, cleared cookies/cache, etc. I have no idea what it could be.
I tried going to Tools --> Web Development --> Error Console, and
received these three errors, but I don't know what to do with them
from here.

Is your Flashpoint on the same comp or hdd as your SM?
It is my understanding that SM has disabled NPAPI in your SM version.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPAPI
Personally, I will stick with SM 2.49.3 until it no longer works
with any websites.
Flash is dead as of yesterday.

True but not relevant to OP's problem which concerns SM in the context
of a game archive package that provides appropriate (and not blocked)
players for the formats, such as Flash, that its archived games need.
The first 2 console errors shown are not exceptional.
SM 2.53.5.1 is supposed to support Flash (and no other plugins) via
NPAPI. Perhaps the detection of older Flash versions isn't working
properly?
The Flashpoint site says that Mac OS support is highly experimental.
You might do better to ask there.

Old or latest. Flash is dead.
Doesn't matter what version of browser still supports it. The
manufacturer of Flash doesn't after yesterday and will block content
from using it.
"Since Adobe will no longer be supporting Flash Player after December
31, 2020 and Adobe will block Flash content from running in Flash Player
beginning January 12, 2021, Adobe strongly recommends all users
immediately uninstall Flash Player to help protect their systems."
Sorta like Twitter blocking certain accounts from being used.
My Flash 18 still works great. I have no plans to get rid of it.
In order for Adobe to block it they would need access to my machine(s)
which they will not get.
