Flash player/streaming video not working on some sites
Well, this problem has me stumped. Recently, my mother updated to Firefox 1.5.0.7, but since then she has been unable to play videos on the following websites:
www.abc.com
abcnews.go.com
www.msnbc.com
Things like Youtube and Google Video still seem to work. The symptoms on the sites I listed above do differ somewhat.
-For ABCNews and ABC
It will say the video is loading, but it ends up hanging on this screen. Interestingly enough, if I right click, I see the following text:
"Disney FSP (version number etc) no stream"
-For MSNBC
Nothing shows up at all.
When trying to run these sites on IE, the same problem occurs, although ABC.com causes IE to hang/lag to the point scripts have to be stopped, or the program has to be end tasked.
If anyone else has experienced this, or knows a possible cause/solution, we'd be happy to hear. Thanks in advance. Oh, and if I need to add any more details, please mention that.

Some sites with flash have crashed FF. Be sure to update to the most recent Shockwave and Flash Players.
Current Flash Player is v 9,0,16,0 and Shockwave Flash Player is 10.3.1 r18
You can verify what version of both you have on this page:

I'm not sure about the other guy, but I have the most recent versions of the above-referenced Flash and FF does the same thing for me. The videos from ABC.com just hang.

I didn't normally have problems running any videos until I tried ABC.com. Must be the site itself b/c YouTube & Google both work for me.
I believe you are correct. It appears there is someone at ABC.com that is unfamiliar with how to end an HTML tag properly.

I believe current Shockwave player is 10.1.3 r18, not 10.3.1 r18 that has been mentioned.
