Shane I tried what you said, and there's no change. I have used your suggestion in the past to fix firefox issues, but what's weird is, I went to linuxjournal.com and the tech tip video didn't display, no placeholder or anything, but I clicked on the .ogv file format and that played just fine. Could this just be a matter of my file associations, to borrow that term from Windows, may be out of synch or not including whatever association is needed to let java content play correctly? /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
