After I upgraded my fireforx to firefox 3 on my Linux box, I can't see the embedded videos on the site. If I view the source and grab the video url, I can go to youtube and watch the video. But not here. There is not even a placeholder box or anything. Itøs like no videos are embedded. Any suggestions?

Maybe you need some firefox plugin to view the videos.

I have both. The strange thing is, that I have no problems seing the videos on Youtube; only when they are embedded here. I wonder if it's the code on this site that is faulty.

It isnt the code. I am using firefox 3 and it works fine. I have the version that was released a week ago on download day.

Let me know if it doesn't fix it. I have VMWare on my laptop running Ubunto. Or I can get a copy of whatever distro you're using.

It worked on XP, but not on Linux. I'll try to play with the Firefox plugins and see if I can get it to work somehow.

Something amiss

There's definitely something not right with the way embedded vides work. I notice with FF2 that the video clips often sit obscuring test or parts of other photos.

Just wrong platforms, and bad content!

Disable all extensions and try... maybe one of the extension is causing a problem? I'm using ff3, no issues here.

Found the bug. I just remembered that I have a plugin that prevents Flash from being loaded automatically. Instead, it displays a box with a button you can press to load the flash. This makes pages load faster, but it seems like the plugin is not fully compatible with FF3.0, because the box wasn't shown. I have disabled it, so now I can see videos again. Hoooray!
