Maybe because SeaMonkey is already your default browser. NOTE: the flash
updater does update your flash plugin in SeaMonkey (you can check from
Tools > Addon Manager > Plugins) but the after-install check to see if
install was successful is hard coded to launch IE! Bad-bad Adobe! But
they are not the only ones that do it.
Wasn't there, at sometime in the past, two different versions of Flash,
one for MSIE and one for everything else??
Actually now 3; Mozillas, MSIE, and Opera & Chromium
Maybe, Win7 is choosing to only install the MSIE version of Flash and a
separate installation of the non-MSIE is required.
Nope. I bet if he goes to the plugin page "Tools > Add-ons Manager >
Plugins" he will find his flash is up to date. It is the Flash plugin
*installer* that is hard-coded on Windows to launch MSIE and not your
*default* browser when it does its finalization part of the install.
Adobe is not the only one to hard-code MSIE in their installers when the
process goes to an online resource. Instead of just "launching" a URL
which would use the user's default browser they call MSIE with the URL
specifically. Bad practice in my opinion. If I wanted IE I would use and
make it default, it is not like you can easily *remove* it!
