Code:

i have installed the java plugin... but still cant play it. When i open the channel, it opens a small pop up window displayed the Thanks message, while the main window where the channel should play contains only a big white blank in the middle....
DiBosco .....

Someone told me to try the mediaconectivity extension for firefox... i installed but no impriovement. On a side note, now mozilla tries to open even rpm files with mplayer instead of package manager..............
