I didn't check in the preferences as yet, and I don't have flash installed.
I think that I did have flash installed once when I put this php code 
together, so that may explain it.
I have since set the mime types in Mozilla and Opera (haven't tested 
Opera as yet but it should work),
but its fine now.
I was a bit worried over how things got broke, but in the end, the code 
or browsers didn't break.
Thanks for the tip...
