> Also, what _is_ shockwave?

Shockwave is a plugin from Adobe. You can prevent it from running by:
a) Disabling it in the Add-Ons Manager, or
b) Uninstalling it entirely from your computer

Note that due to some marketing-oriented decisions took years ago by
Macromedia (now part of Adobe), there are actually two different
products that may identify themselves as "Shockwave". The most common of
them is Flash, which is listed on the Add-Ons Manager as "Shockwave
Flash." The other one is Shockwave Player. They are both Adobe products,
but actually do different things.

Note also that it may be possible to set up "click to play" behavior in
Seamonkey, in which plugins aren't loaded automatically. But I can't
recall offhand if this was already available in SM 2.17, which is about
six versions out of date.
