Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I am able to display videos from Youtube and other sites, however I am not able to display videos from Http://www.theonion.com

I believe it may have something to do with Apple quicktime 10, but I am a noob and not that familiar with Linux. I have checked for the latest version of ndswrapper and it seems to be installed correctly.

I am not sure if this problem is with my AMD-64 version, or if it is a problem across all platforms.

Release: Ubuntu 8.10
Expected: Video from www.theonion.com to display.
Actual: Screen appears to load, but video never displays. Firefox does NOT crash...just no video.

I'm a Debian user, but for what it's worth I see exactly the same problem with iceweasel 3.0.6 (what Debian call firefox). Youtube is fine, and I see the volume control, etc. in the Onion site, but the actual video doesn't come. I am also running AMD64.
