- <para>No specific configuration is required as long as the

- <application>SeaMonkey</application> is installed in a non-standard
location,
- make a symlink to the <command>seamonkey</command> script in the
- <filename class="directory">/usr/bin</filename> directory.</para>
+ <para>If you deleted the <option>--disable-webm</option> option from your
+ <filename>mozconfig</filename>, your <application>Seamonkey</application>
+ can play most youtube videos without the need for the flash plugin. To
+ enable this, go to <ulink
+ url="http://www.youtube.com/html5";>http://www.youtube.com/html5</ulink>
+ and click on 'Join the HTML5 Trial' (needs cookies
+ enabled).</para>
- <para>Some applications look for <command>netscape</command> when they need

creating
