Does that mean that you are also using the x_64 version of Firefox? Read this section: 10.3.1. Enabling Flash Plugin Instructions for Flash in 64-bit Firefox http://tinyurl.com/369oa5 http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f8/en_US/sn-Desktop.html#sn-KDE-Desktop - ---------------------------------------- As for the java applet on the bank site? Icedtea, the java included with Fedora, is not yet as good as it will be and sometimes does not work. For that reason I use the Java that Sun provides because there are several places where it does not work for me. - ---------------------------------------- Now all of this above will *not* run the Live Video feeds. That requires another plugin and there is no version for Linux of it. - ---------------------------------------- As for "criticizing me"? That was because you immediately jumped to the conclusion that both CNN and the bank site were deliberately excluding you, your system, and your choice of Linux as your OS. Which is obviously not true. FUD. Fear, uncertainty and doubt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear%2C_uncertainty_and_doubt paranoia - a tendency on the part of an individual or group toward excessive or irrational suspiciousness and distrustfulness of others http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/paranoia I am sorry about the "criticizing me". An over reaction perhaps. - -- David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) iD8DBQFHamy6AO0wNI1X4QERAgdIAKC4WT6K9u5eUPP6EikDl9TG5N86DwCg9qxA VLx3HqIF1KqCwyrl7svJRJY= =jYRW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
