So with SeaMonkey/2.47 (Fx/Gecko 50.0) the Flash plugin appears defunct,
although I can see it in the Add-ons Manager. I see there's no link to
http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ on the about:plugins page, anymore.
Going to the plugincheck page I don't see Flash listed but few others
(as "unknown status") I see in my Add-ons Manager, also: Microsoft
Office 2016, Google Update.
Turning off "Advertise Firefox compatibility" with SeaMonkey/2.47 causes
either big gray box with "This plugin is disabled" when the Flash plugin
setting is "Always Activate", or big black box with "No compatible
source was found for this media" when Flash is set to "Ask to
Activate". Looks like bad browser feature detection on the bloomberg site.
With SeaMonkey/2.45 (Fx/Gecko 48.0) the Flash plugin appears still
functional and I get a Flash video no matter the "Advertise Firefox
compatibility" setting, and "Always Activate" or "Ask to Activate" Flash
plugin. With "Never Activate" (disable) Flash plugin I'm getting a
blank black box when "Advertise Firefox compatibility" is checked (may
be this is what Ed experiences?), and a black box with "No compatible
source was found for this media" when "Advertise Firefox compatibility"
is unchecked. I wonder if there's a way to force HTML5 video on the
bloomberg site?
On my SM 2.40, disabling "Advertise Firefox compatibility" (and I did
verify that the change had taken effect) had no effect -- the video
still played normally.
One correction to my earlier post -- for the specific extension .swf, my
system is set to use Adobe's Shockwave Flash plugin, not VLC.
Either way, it still works fine.
