Is there an extension of some sort I can download so embeded stuff works in firefox? It's annoying everytime I want to view a video or something from a news site it can't display it. Is there something I can download for it to work?

what doesn't work in firefox? is this in windows? what kind of stuff you looking to make work? I'm pretty sure flash/shockwave, quicktime, real player, ms office plugins, adobe reader plugin, etc... should work fine in firefox. they work fine for me in mozilla and opera. is there a different kind of filetype you're looking for?

Not sure I just know that whenever I go on a site that has anything embeded (video) it won't work. News sites are the worse since they never use standard formats. So I'm hoping there's just a pluging pack I can install that's universal.

Windows. I'll try to find a news site that does not work to show an example.
