This video doesn't play in SeaMonkey but does in every other browser I tried. Ideas?

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?

YES!  That is it exactly!

May be it is interesting to note I always get the HTML5 video with Firefox 48 no matter the Flash plugin activation setting. Won't really investigate further but I'm glad it is o.k. with SeaMonkey 2.47, although with "Advertise Firefox compatibility" checked – still looks like bad UA sniffing.
