I'll keep that in mind if, the next time I hit a site that needs it, it
still doesn't work.
I also found that as usual, upgrading FF has destroyed the plugins
directory. Having been bitten by that many times over the years, I now
keep a backup directory of plugins so that I can restore those without
having to spend a couple of hours searching the net every time a new bug
vector is found in FF or Mozilla. So now I've copied all that in, and
wouldn't you know it, the first site I hit has a file I want to look at,
but its going to be about a 200 megabyte dl for a 17 minute movie. I've
played the first 1:40 of it so far, works great.
