Re: Refreshed build of SM 2.42.9ESR

Hi Dave

Reinstated Seamonkey 2.35 (Build identifier: 20160617210117) and the 
list of videos in my previous post all start to play fine with the page 
loaded properly.

A lot less stress on the cpus as well.

I think I'll leave 2.35 installed and wait for the next Seamonkey update.


Regards

Pete
