I checked on this when it was mentioned, I guess in the other thread.
It appears it got changed when I did my upgrade.  At least it doesn't
crash now.  It was enabled tho so I fixed that.

New problem tho.  I have Seamonkey's web browser on desktop 1.  The
email is on desktop 2.  My local radar from NOAA uses flash.  When I
load it, I can see the image from flash on both desktop 1 and 2.
Everything else is updated except the flash part.  If I switch a couple
times, it gets really weird looking.  Looks like someone slipped LSD in
my drink or something.  Just weird colors and such.

What's up with that?  I'm going to try rebuilding a couple things to
make sure everything is in sync.  Maybe that will fix it.

While I am at it.  Is HTML5 going to replace flash?  I don't mean in the
next week but over a period of time.  While researching this, I ran
across posts that suggest HTML5 will render flash outdated.  Just curious.
