I don't think we are on the same page.  Are you saying that you can get 
the CNN videos to play from Firefox in Linux right now - today - from 
the new CNN website?  If so, you are the only person I know of able to 
do it.

After CNN switched over to their newly redesigned website about a week 
ago, most of us are only able to get the lead-in promo to play and then 
the actual video does not play.  They switched to Flash format.  The CNN 
video does not work for me with the libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 
9.0 r31 plugin for Firefox.

That is what I mean.  So, if given the above, you are sill able to play 
CNN videos, I - and others I'm sure - would like very much to know what 
it is about your Linux/Firefox configuration is that is different from 
mine which allows you to play the CNN videos.
