I have the gstreamer flag (and everything except "jit") turned off for
seamonkey. Here's output from "emerge -pv seamonkey" on my machine...

I think we're talking past each other here. FlashDisable is irrelavant
to the way I do it. The really important concept is that each profile
is a separate universe unto itself. And you can set totally different
behaviours in each profile. In my Youtube profile, I totally disable
Flash. As far as the web page is concerned, I don't have Flash
installed at all. Like I said above, FlashDisable is irrelavant
to the way I do it. Here's the Seamonkey menu tree; Firefox may be
different.
Tools ==> Add-ons Manager ==> Plugins (on the left sidebar)
I select "Shockwave Flash" from the "Plugins" list, and there's a
dropdown menu with 3 choices
* Ask to Activate
* Always Activate
* Never Activate
I select "Never Activate", and Youtube thinks I don't have Flash
installed, forcing it to go with HTML5 mode.
