YouTube recently upgraded their latest version of Adobe Flash Player,

It works just fine on Firefox, but loading a video on SeaMonkey leaves

the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
What you are seeing frequently means that the YouTube server is
incorrectly "sniffing" for your browser, sniffing for "Firefox" and not
"SeaMonkey". Worse, if the problem is indeed sniffing, then the
sniffing is incorrectly reporting its results when selected browsers are
not detected. For an explanation of "sniffing", see my
<http://www.rossde.com/internet/Webdevelopers.html#sniff>.
Please indicate a specific URI within YouTube where your problem
appears. This would be the address you request to see a video, not the
address where you get the message about JavaScript and Flash.
I request those who report that "It works for me" to select [Help >
About SeaMonkey] from your menu bar. Please reply in this thread --
replying to your own prior reply -- indicating whether or not "Firefox"
appears in the "Build identifier" at the bottom of the white box.
"about" doesn't work that way on a Mac, but from my headers in previous
posts:
