All you've discovered is that when you run grep, grep is a running process. If Flash were running, it would show up on a separate line of the output. Rinaldi suggested ps because the OP does have Flash installed, and because a running Flash process might be causing the trouble. ps would let him find the process ID (PID) so he could kill it. > But just checked SM Add-ons Manager an it's showing I have "YouTube > Flash Video Player 36.0 installed!! Is this working in place of > normal Flash?? No, that's just an extension meant to force the use of Flash (as opposed to HTML5) on YouTube. Without Flash installed, you shouldn't need/want the extension. > Should my sound be working, or not?? Sound *should* be working for everyone. ;) If you are having trouble with sound, better to start a thread of your own. If you're just curious about ps and/or grep, take it to m.general and I'll see what I can do (or better yet, Rinaldi might -- he knows a lot more than I do). _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
