When I bring up Seamonkey Mail and Newsgroups and then view an

Subsequent lookups stay on top of the Mail and Newsgroups page.
This would not be a problem, except that sometimes the first referred
to page is smaller than the Mail and Newsgroups page and disappears
completely behind the Mail and Newsgroups page.
I would like lookups to always take the focus and stay on top of the
page from which I click on a link. I suspect I have something
configured wrong, I would like some help. Please?
Sounds like the Flash protected mode issue.
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Flash_Protected_Mode_issues_on_Windows_Vista_and_above>
Read the rationale first, then try the fix under the heading "Disabling
Protected Mode in Flash 11.3."
If that doesn't solve it, write back.
Paul, Thank you, that fixed the problem. Whew.
Paul or anyone: What are the unintended consequences of disabling
Flash Protected mode by adding 'ProtectedMode=0' to the file
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg?
Security related is the bottom line reasoning for use of Protected Mode
(PM) in Flash and supported EPM (Enhanced Protected Mode) in other browsers.
The primary purpose of PM in Flash it so make it more difficult for it
to be targetted for malicious purposes.

By running the Flash Player as a restricted process, Adobe is making it
more difficult for an attacker to turn a simple bug into a working
exploit. This blog post will provide an overview of the technical
implementation of the design.
