I have the PrefBar and Flashblock extensions. I do not like PrefBar's method of blocking Flash; so I created a PrefBar checkbox to enable and disable Flashblock, with "disable" being the default. I want to separate the controls of Flash and HTML5 Media. Thus, I set the option in Flashblock not to block HTML5 Media. Then I created a checkbox in PrefBar to enable and disable HTML5 Media. As already cited in this thread, the preference variable for enabling and disabling HTML5 Media (used by my PrefBar checkbox) is media.autoplay.enabled. The preference variable for enabling and disabling Flashblock is flashblock.enabled. With Flashblock enabled, I am still able to "play" a Flash presentation merely by selecting the right-pointing triangle in the Flash window. For HTML5 Media, I generally enable it and then reload the Web page to "play" the presentation; but I really do not know if reloading is necessary. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> President Trump demands loyalty to himself from Republican members of Congress. I always thought that members of Congress -- House and Senate -- were required to be loyal to the people of the United States. In any case, they all swore an oath of office to be loyal to the Constitution. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
