Win 7 - Seamonkey 2.53.1
When opening a video on youtube I get the standard black rectangle for the video content, and thats it. It stops showing this black rectangle and spins the circle in the middle of the rectangle forever. Also when on the main site of youtube.com, the list with videos shows only grey rectangles and nothing inside. What is wrong or missing? And this is at work, but when I installed Seamonkey 2.53.1 at home on Mint 18.3 machine, all is fine, youtube works properly. There is some issue with your profile, possibly some broken add-on, try Help - Restart with Add-ons Disabled, and see if this help
Sorry, I forgot to mention this. I already tried this Help - Restart with Addons Disabled (as I found this as a solution somewhere on the web already last week)
But it did not help. Generally, it should be a clean install so there should not be any add-ons, weird configurations done by me ![]() I wonder if you have a N edition of Windows 7 as it does not come with the media feature packs that provides the needed codecs to fully support HTML5 players.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-video-audio-problems-firefox-windows On Linux you would need FFmpeg for example.
Didn't know about the N editions so I have read about it and yes, my country is listed on Microsofts N editions list. But it seems that I'm not on N edition and if so, then the media pack is already installed as I tried to play music or video through Windows Media Player and it played them fine. Edit: And also youtube plays fine on other browsers: Opera, IE11, Brave, Chrome

Well, at home, on Linux Mint 18.3 I do not have any problems with SeaMonkey also. Its just at work on Windows 7 those problems show up.

Thats pity, as I'm looking for some decent browser I could use at work and all not 'mainstream' browser I tried so far fail hugely at delivering web content
