Flash plugin missing when browsing vhx.tv on firefox, opera but not konqueror


Hello slackers,

As the subject says, I meet the _real_ strange problem ...
I paid the last humblebundle and got some try on the VHX.tv sites' videos.
but it always returned a "Install Flash" button and a line of
Flash not installed or out-dated ...

Damn that, I got my flash-plugin freshly installed(LNX 11.2.202.378) from BOB repo and the video sites like youtube works smoothly.
Then I tried Opera, thinking of, maybe it's the foxy trouble. I compiled it from slackbuilds and it acted the same as FF(after cp /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/* /usr/lib/opera/plugins/)

As I am searching for the solution on the duck, I found the name konqueror which I give it up since I found FF on my full installed Slackbox had some tricky way dealing with flash-plugin. I tried it out and It works with no "Install Flash" but a freeze video player which looks even not initialized yet.

Anyone here having deal with vhx.tv?
I have had contacted the vhx.tv tech support and he offered one test portal(key), pm me if you interested on it but having no idea with the vhx.
BTW, I am going to tried the wined IE, BOB bless me ...

You could also try Chrome, that has a flash player embedded IIRC.

that web site looks shaky to me. I could be wrong but I do not agree with there policy. And the way they collect info. And the fact they do not have a contact me on the front of the page. and how it splashes get started without having a link to all the info first.
strange way to do business keep you blind as you put more info into it.

Thanks for your advice! Besides FF, Opera and IE7 only chrome works on vhx.tv !!
I am reporting back to that tech support, weird problem though.
