Problem with web video

2011-06-23 Thread Carmel
I have been fighting a losing battle trying to get video to display
with Firefox. I just updated to the latest version 5;however, it still
does not work. This is on a FreeBSD-8.2 system.

As an example, the following URL does not display the video or even the
portion where one would usually click on to start the video.

http://front.moveon.org/bill-maher-if-our-policy-is-yeehaw-jesus-takes-the-wheel-were-dead-already/

This site works fine with IE-9  Windows 7, so I know it does work. As
far as I can tell, I have all of the required packages installed.

That's Flash content.  Adobe supports Windows, MacOSX, Linux, and Solaris
(from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions ).

If it is important to you that Flash works well, you should either persuade
Adobe to provide a FreeBSD version, or you should switch to using one of the
platforms on which Flash is supported.

Works here with FreeBSD 8.2, i386, FF5, Flash installed as per the 
Handbook.
