Hi, Jonathan.
Thanks for your suggestion. Typing about:plugins in the FF navigation
bar yields the following:
Shockwave Flash
File name: libgnashplugin.so
Shockwave Flash 8.0 - Gnash 0.7.2, the GNU Flash Player. Copyright ©

MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes
Shockwave Flash
File name: libflashplayer.so
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r48
MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes
application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes
(snip)
and
Shockwave Flash
File name: libflash-mozplugin.so
Flash Movie player Version 0.4.12 compatible with Shockwave Flash 4.0
Shockwave is a trademark of Macromedia® <http://www.macromedia.com>
GPLFLash homepage : gplflash.sf.net <http://gplflash.sf.net>
MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash Flash Plugin swf Yes
application/futuresplash Future Splash spl Yes
plus ("with JavaScript Enabled and Using GTK2 Widgets) one entry each for
QuickTime Plug-in 6.0/7, RealPlayer 9, Windows Media Player Plugin
(mplayerplug-in 3.31),
mplayerplug-in 3.31, Adobe Reader 7.0 (works perfectly in browser) and
Kaffeine Starter Plugin (kaffeineplugin.so),
An attempt to run a CNN video in Konqueror yields this:
"www.cnn.com - JavaScript - Konqueror
Second chance exception while raising fatal exception:
Error name: Error - Error Message: there is no public constructor for
CNNPlaylistManager."
As you can see, that there are three different entries for what appears
to be different versions of Shockwave Flash. Could that perhaps cause
confusion ? or where else might the problem be?
Thanks for helping.
