I've come back to this issue of the Fox News Channel videos not wanting to play, because perhaps I have some more information that might provide a clue.
Fox News Channel hosts a number of videos, and provides an embedding link to each one. About an hour ago, I went to find one. When my Fedora 12/Firefox 3.5.8 setup wouldn't play nice, I went to another machine that had Windows XP on it. I was able to play the video there, and to get the embedding script. I got it and pasted it into an article I wrote.
And when I went to display my article, guess what? The video wouldn't play.
Here is the link to the article I wrote, that has the embedded video:
Article displays properly & video plays. No problems.
Fedora 12. Firefox 3.5.8-1.fc12. Flash 10.0 r45 Alpha. kernel 2.6.32.10-90.fc12.x86_64. Everything 64-bit, including plugins, the list of which at first glance looks similar to yours, just all 64-bit.
Here is the embedding URL I used: [snip]

From a later response of yours, you said you're all 32-bit--OS, Firefox, plugins, etc. Yes? Then why do you have nspluginwrapper installed? It's not needed. nspluginwrapper is meant to run 32-bit plugins on 64-bit browsers. You're all 32-bit. Maybe, this is the problem.
