Needing Some Firefox Help

[LBM]

After the good reviews from the folks on C.C I've been trying Firefox and have liked the ease of having the text size enlarged for my old feeble eyes.

My problem is when in Firefox I can't see videos from links posted in C.C. It says things like "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. " and when I click on the get latest player link and say yes to all the dialog boxes and things seem to work like previous downloads have worked but after going through it all I still can't see the video.

In the Firefox add-on help there are seventeen categories with maybe 5 million different add-ons which I am fairly sure I don't need around 4.9 million of those add-ons to get Firefox to work similar to IE like when I click on a link and have everything seem to work fine.

My system is Windows Vista and I'm looking for any help or suggestions from you folks that are happily using Firefox successfully.

Thanks

Do you have any extensions installed? The "no script" extension will block pretty much everything on the page except text. You have to allow what you want to see.

I'm still trying to grasp Firefox's lingo so not sure just what extensions are yet so as of now I'm not sure. but will eventually start figuring it out bit by bit.

I did download Adobe Flash Player 10 plugin yesterday and I now can view videos from Firefox.

Next task for me is figuring out just which plugins I might need or want to add for Firefox.
