Has this anything to do with why videos won't play on foxnews.com when I 
browse them in Firefox?

YouTube and other shared-service videos play fine, and so do the videos 
that I embed. But foxnews.com won't play at all.

Do I need a plugin to get it to work? Or do those videos not play nice 
with flashplayer?
