User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 SeaMonkey/2.49.4
Steps to reproduce:
Seems to vary on which video you watch, some seem to play.
Others will play for 10 to 15 seconds, then bluescreen.
Actual results:
On Windows 7, while watching some videos on YouTube, machine bluescreens,
other browsers with same Flash Plugin don't, Firefox is fine SeaMonkey 2.49.4.
File: NPSWF32_32_0_0_114.dll
Path: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_32_0_0_114.dll
Version: 32.0.0.114
State: Enabled
Shockwave Flash 32.0 r0
The bluescreen is only up for a second, so I haven't recorded anything from it.
I just wanted to let you know this was happening.
Thanks!
Expected results:
Video should play as normal.

Bluescreen usually means something deep deep in the OS is at fault. This usually only happens with bad or faulty hardware and/or its drivers.
Without more inforamtion nothing can be done here. Why do you still use Flash for youtube? html5 should be ok.
If my Firefox, 64.0.2, doesn't have any problems, or Vivaldi, latest also,
playing any videos, then if I play one with SeaMonkey and it bluescreens,
that has to be something going on with SeaMonkey.
And I'm not positive it's using Flash when it's playing,
on everything I let it play with it's defaults.

Wrong. Future Firefox version might have blacklisted some hardware drivers or hit a different code path. Ram cell might be bad and trigger it becasue the application is using this specific one for soemting. Youtube might serve different content because of a different user agent and so on.
If the OS crashes the application might trigger it but this should never happen. At worst the application should crash in which case we would have a crash id and could see what did go wrong.
Bulding 2.49.5 has started but it will be a slow go because of new infrastructure. You can try the unofficial release at http://www.wg9s.com/comm-esr/ and see if the crashes go away. Has some additional known faulty drivers blacklisted.
