Things that worked before now give the error message that I don't have
Flash (or have an old version). "About:Plugins" in Seamonkey shows that
Flash 5.0 r67 is installed and enabled.

I did note that some things that don't work in Seamonkey do work in
Firefox (but not all).

This is very curious.

Thanks for the information. Let me know if you have any other ideas.
