SeaMonkey updated to 2.29 on Sept 9.

Just tried to play a Flash video at nbc.com and SM said I needed to
install a plugin. I let proceed and closed SM when the installer said
to.  Restarted SM.  Went to add-ons manager, no Flash plugin, only
Quicktime.

Uninstalled SM. Downloaded full installer from Mozilla. Installed.  Ran
Flash installer. Firefox has the Flash plugin, SM does not. Anyone
else?


I have SM 2.29 and the one Parks and Recreation episode I started at
nbc.com began playing normally.  Right-click on the video and Flash
shows version 14.0.0.179.

I wasn't suggesting a problem with nbc.com, I detailed a SeaMonkey/Flash
issue.  The problem had nothing to do with nbc.com.

Ed, have you tried both the EXE- and MSI-based installers? If you
haven't tried both, download the one you haven't used (again, for the
plug-in browswers). Then, for a lark, open a console window as
administrator (Type 'cmd' in the search, right click and run as admin).
CD the console to your download location and run the installer that way.

As a recursor to the installation step, uninstall Flash. Also, prior to
the installation, (and, again, just for a lark) close all your
plug-in-based browsers. With any luck, this all should get your Windows'
Flash installation working properly with SeaMonkey.


Yep.  Tried the Web/stub installer, the full exe, and the msi.  Haven't
tried the console route but I'll try that later.  Thanks for the suggestion.

Although, it's also odd that SM "lost" my NVIDIA drivers and Silverlight
plugins at the same time as Flash.  I also manually added them to the
folder I created in the installation folder.



Tried the console window running the msi installer to no avail.  Firefox
got the plugin, SeaMonkey did not. A mystery!  :-)

Like you, I've tried everything under the sun.  Search of internet gives
no new information.  Every page with info on installing Flash on Linux
was investigated and tried.  Nothing seems to work.  Oh, well, I usually
only use the lap top on trips for e-mail and reading newspapers.



Is your SeaMonkey and Flash installed through your Linux systems repositories or manually from Mozilla and Adobe?

My SeaMonkey installed from openSUSE picks up all the plugins installed into /usr/lib64/browser-plugins by openSUSE including Flash.

For my manually installed Firefox Beta and Nightly versions I had to create a plugins folder in .mozilla and add a symbolic link to /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so.

It is so much easier to let the distro handle Flash and its updates.
