Thanks Claude. Yes, I do have Flash installed:
[root at moe ~]# rpm -qa | grep flash
mozilla-flash-7.0.25-1.2.fc4.rf
flash-plugin-7.0.25-1
I've run 'setup' and it appears successful:
[root at moe ~]# /usr/lib/flash-plugin/setup
Registering flashplayer as a XPCOM component in
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.10
Registering flashplayer as a XPCOM component in
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6
Setup is complete.
Still no videos from www.foxnews.com though.
