However when I navigate to this page on USA Today I am told that my
browser does not have the current Flash plug-in.

The page works fine in Firefox and Chromium.
I'm using Seamonkey 2.0.4 on an openSUSE 11.2 Linux system.
Should I report it as a broken website, or is there a fix?
The problem has nothing to do with Flash. The Web server is sniffing
for Firefox. There is a bug in the sniffing code; when it finds a
browser that it does not recognize (i.e., SeaMonkey), it reacts as if
you do not have Flash. Furthermore, sniffing for Firefox is invalid.
If sniffing can be justified at all, the server should sniff for Gecko.

I might submit a Mozilla bug
report (Tech Evangelism), in which case I will post another reply here.
Oops! The bug report on this was submitted almost 8 years ago. See bug
#165538 at<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165538>.
Thanks for the reply. I'll inlude the page URI in any future posts.
