Despite a mozilla-flash update this AM, firefox is still DIW, will not
play a video, not even the commercial in front of it. Using chromium for
my default browser now.
Do I detect an effort to kill mozilla/firefox? It has not worked for any
videos but you-tubes in 6 months. And for the last several weeks, not
even there, as the debian version has no html5 support according the
window the video is supposed to play in.
