Plugin support is discontined in Gecko / Firefox 52 which is the base of SeaMonkey. This was alrweady the case with 64 bit Windows versions for some time. Only Flash will work. All other plugings will no longer work. Nothing we / SeaMonkey devs can do about it.

Binary Add-ons will stop working in SeaMonkey 2.50.

Only normal add-ons will be supported at least until the end of 2017.

Could be that your pluginreg.dat file is corrupted. Close SeaMonkey and

Restart SeaMonkey and see if your plugins are back.

I am writing this email with SeaMonkey 2.40. Everything is fine. The
problem seems to be that the Aurora version is not picking up plugins
that are stored _outside_ the SM  profile (see directory list below),
while SM 2.4 correctly sees them. Could that be caused by some build
option in SeaMonkey? Many years ago I used to build SM from upstream
tar balls and all worked fine, including with respect to plugins.

# ls /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/
gecko-mediaplayer-dvx.so  gecko-mediaplayer-rm.so
gecko-mediaplayer-wmp.so  libjavaplugin.so
gecko-mediaplayer-qt.so   gecko-mediaplayer.so     libflashplayer.so
