Yes, I know. If you're running the GNOME

Yes, I have. I removed the old mplayer-gui when I found it unnecessary. kmplayer works fine.
I installed that, from the repositories, after
removing all
totem plug-ins and applets.
What does 'about:plugins' report in your
browser? What 'addons' do you have? Some sites like CBS.com won't play if you have an ad-blocker, but on my system, it tells me that.
about:plugins is a very lengthy report that shows that mplayerplug-in/gecko-mediaplayer is active and will support every suffix that I can remember, plus a few I never heard of.
Interestingly, the VLC plug-in and the gecko-mediaplayer support many of the same suffixes. Is that a problem?
There could be a conflict. Stranger things have happened. Try disabling the VLC plugin: (in Firefox) Tools->Addons, click 'Plugins', click VLC and disable. Quit and restart Firefox. Check 'about:plugins' to verify VLC-plugin is disabled.
Flash supports swf and spl only.
That's all it should support: just flash files.
I still cannot play any videos on
Foxnews.com--though I
can play them on the NBC channels mentioned, and on
any other
channel.
At this moment, I'm at a loss as to a cause or a
fix. They both work on my system.
Have you tried re-downloading (from Adobe) the
flash-plugin--it could be corrupted--and reinstalling it? Both Foxnews and NBC use plain-vanilla flash.

I wouldn't have thought that that would be an issue.
Best to eliminate all possibilities no matter how remote. Too bad Adobe doesn't list checksums for the flash downloads.
