Not sure if this is related but with the latest Flash plugin (17.0.0.188) and the latest FIREFOX (38.0.1) OR Seamonkey (2.33.1) ANY RIGHT CLICKING OF A FLASH OBJECT CRASHES FLASH. 

I am on Windows 7, 64 bit. This has occurred with the last 2 Flash updates.

It's total insanity. I am *trying* to stay with Mozilla because I don't want to use IE, but man! I am SO sick of the constant crashes with Flash EVERYWHERE now!

Chas, Are you still seeing this issue when using a current version of Firefox?

I have not seen this problem since upgrading to Seamonkey 2.39 (Firefox 42.0). 
(May have been fixed on 2.38 also.)
