That's all well and good and I'm using the same SM but for 64 bit as you know.  But what I wanted was some insite on the /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/ folder which I don't have natively.  I suppose you created it but how does one know that it will work. I suppose I could create an /usr/lib/seamonkey folder arbitrarily with a plugins subfolder and all the plugins installed there and it would work?  I know mozilla is the catch all for browser plugins mostly and wondered why not have a seamonkey directory since there is 2 for firefox and one for iceweasel,iceape or whatever.  Basically how do you know it will work?  Guess you have all the other plugins in /usr.lib/mozilla/plugins?
