I was able to play the video with the following SeaMonkey settings: * View All Images -- normally I have View Images Only From Requested Domain * Enable Popups -- normally disabled * Enable Flash -- normally disabled * Disable AdBlock Plus -- normally enabled * Disable Secret Agent -- normally enabled * Set user agent to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.40, NOT Firefox/49.0 -- normally does not include ", NOT Firefox/49.0" * Enable HTML5 Media -- normally disabled I do not know if all those changes were necessary. I was able to do all of them very quickly via PrefBar (including some PrefBar "buttons" that I created myself). -- David E. Ross The Crimea is Putin's Sudetenland.
