Thanks for the tip.

Now for everyone's information, I removed nspluginwrapper from my 
installed base of RPMs, using my particular package manager, which 
happens to be Smart. Then I reloaded Firefox and went back to that page 
I built, with the embedded video from Fox News Channel. And this time, 
it played.

Chris, may I suggest that the problem is a bit wider than the 64-bit 
version. The 32-bit version does the same. My plugins were all using 
"nswrapper-32-32." Now, without nspluginwrapper, they're all back to 
their native .so files.

So: /all/ version of nspluginwrapper cause problems for videos called 
with certain scripts. You can't even get the embedding code with 
nspluginwrapper in place.
