Do you have a swf plugin installed, like the flashplugin-installer or swfdec-mozilla package? I am able to play video on
msnbc.com through firefox 3.0.11 on Ubuntu 9.04 i386 with the flashplugin-installer package installed.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Please provide the results of the following command:
apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree swfdec-mozilla mozilla-plugin-gnash

Thank you.

Hello,

I resolved the problem by uninstalling completely swfdec-mozilla. Now video
works fantastic.

Should this be marked invalid, or should it be moved to swfdec-mozilla?
