This is what I meant by "Cookies allowed only from the requested domain". On the Cookies pane of the Preferences window, this is the radio button for "Allow cookies for the originated website only (no third-party cookies)". To manage individual cookies, I use the PrefBar extension, having imported into that extension the Permissions Menu menulist from <http://prefbar.tuxfamily.org/buttons.html#permissionsmenu>. In my installation, I renamed this menulist as "Managers". > Shockwave Flash 20.0.0.306 and Shockwave for Director 12.2.3.183 both > installed, both show as current.

To enable Flash, go to [Tools > Add-ons Manager] on the SeaMonkey menu bar, scroll down to Flash, and select Always Activate from the selection list at the right.
