video does not display in FireFox 3.0.3

[James Collier]

Hi Jay,
What sort of video are you trying to play (I.e. what site)?
If you're trying to use youtube (flash vidoes) you'll need a flash 8
player plugin. If it's a traditional video format you'll need the
gstreamer plugin (not sure if this is by default or with the ubufox
package... or something else) with the appropriate codecs.

Folks,

I have been having problems getting video to display since the 
installation of FF 3.0 on my Gnome based 8.04 system, even with the most 
recent download and upgrade to FF 3.0.3. As near as I can tell I am not 
missing anything...

The video player appears to function, at least the audio stream 
associated with it works, however, the video itself does not display in 
the window opened by the player. It is just a plain white screen... What 
have I done wrong or failed to obtain that will resolve this problem?

Thanks,
Jay
