Besides that I hate it, if you use it, you don't have key bindings like
you do in mplayer.  It probably doesn't use VDPAU, either.

There might be the problem that, in a while, you can't play videos with
it anymore since Adobe says there aren't going to be any further
releases.  I don't know what their plans are, perhaps it just becomes
obsolete and what's built into the web browsers replaces it.

I installed gnash and it doesn't play flash.  It only shows the white
background of the page where the video is supposed to be.  I don't
really care because I would download the video with flashgot anyway and
watch it in mplayer, but you can't even do that with gnash.

So how do I make it so that seamonkey uses mplayer to play all videos?
You seem to think there's no problem with that.
