Thanks to those of you who responded to my question. As it turns out,
reverting back to SM version 2.29 only partially corrected the problem
with the Adobe Reader plugin but the flash player continued to
fail/crash intermittently. I have just received the following notice
which applies. I hope it will resolve at least this part of the problem
I've been experiencing.

-------- Original Message --------
I have been having major problems with SM on my Windows 7 Professional
system when the program automatically updated from version 2.29 to 2.30
about a week ago.
Both Acrobat Reader and Shockwave Flash now malfunction and crash most
of the time - most notably in YouTube and Facebook - and the plugins do
not reload. I have installed the latest version plugins for Acrobat
Reader and Shockwave Flash, so the false reminders to upgrade the
plugins is useless.
I also noticed that since the SM upgrade my mouse and browser navigation
functions have become dramatically slower and/or behaving erratically.
Web pages sometimes take a long time to load, if ever, they freeze up
and sometimes even disappear after they've loaded. I have done repeated
scans for malware and viruses with no evidence of such interventions.
I uninstalled SM 2.30 and reinstalled 2.29 a short while ago and it
seems that all the problems I have just described have suddently
disappeared.
Is there a way to turn off automatic updates in Seamonkey?
Thanks,
Marisa
I think you are better off directly overinstalling a full version from
your desktop preceded by a restore point. If it all goes south there
is a better chance that the system restore will leave you with a
result closer to your original, IMO.
The same can be said for flash:
