Generally Firefox will ask you what to do when you click on something that it doesn't already "know" about. For example, if you click on a video link, a window should pop up and let you choose an application (and a check box for "always do this"). If you look in Edit, Preferences, Applications you can see what is already defined.

For videos you would want, oh, mplayer or one of the other multimedia applications.

Take a look at http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/...&r=0&e=es&as=s for a discussion of how to do this. In particular, also look at Adding download actions on the above page which links to http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/...wnload-actions.

Hope this helps some.

It sound to me like you're missing the Flash plugin, If you want to install it there should be something like "flashplugin-installer" in software centre/synaptic (whichever you have installed).

Hello,

thank you for your replay. I cant see any video via web browser. The flashplugin-installer is already installed, but I cant see any video.

If you go to this site:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
does it tell you Flash is installed?

I am not sitting in front of my laptop.

I will test it immediately at home.

Thank you.
