Sure, but I seriously doubt anyone actually at CNN knows anything about
this site page or how to change it. I would think that it was designed for
them by a contractor. It was a beta site until last Saturday and
Independence Day was Wednesday. The first time I had problems with the
videos was on Tuesday evening. So it has not, this problem for Linux
users, existed for very long.

This is not the first time that I have seen something like this. I used to
use an application years ago named Junkbuster to spoof sites that would
only accept Windows browsers. My bank was one of them.

BTW it is a setting in the Linux Firefox that causes this, the way Firefox
identifies itself. The Windows Firefox, same version, works just fine.
