How does it look? On my system, whenever I load a page having a video
from Fox (like the page with the above link, a page I created myself, by
the way), all I get is a top and bottom bar, with viewing controls not
even appearing, much less functioning.
I'm still using a 32-bit kernel, so you and I aren't using the same
kernel. Not that I would expect that to matter.
I tried installing the Greasemonkey add-on, and a script for "Fox News
friendly videos." No joy.
