I thought I'd keep it as simple as possible (but no simpler) so I uninstalled mozplugger uninstalled nspluginwrapper These two alone didn't do anything. The thing that made it work was install Sun's Java. In fact I had it installed, but alternatives was pointing to openjdk or whatever it's called. Once I got firefox to use Sun's java everything worked. It may still work if I reinstall mozplugger and nspluginwrapper, but I didn't bother. I know, other people were already using Sun java and still can't play embedded flash clips in FF, so it may or it may not work for you. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
