This would be the latest example: http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-august-11-2011/lactate-intolerance It works fine on a Windows machine with IE (no surprise there); however, using Firefox 6.0 on FreeBSD-8.2 it simply will not work. Some other videos from the same site do work correctly though. This phenomena has happened to me several times on several different sites. I have contacted a few sites to see if I could get some assistance. I was informed by the few who bothered to reply that they test their material against IE and Firefox run under Windows. One responder informed me that testing against non-windows architecture was not a viable option due to the extreme fragmentation of the non-windows community. Anyway, I was hoping that perhaps someone might have a working solution for this predicament. -- Carmel ✌ carmel_ny@hotmail.com
