I'm unable to play streaming video from et.yahoo.com. Everytime the video starts
with an ad, the video stops at the end of the ad, so I can't see the video I
intended to see. The video will play ONLY when it does NOT start with an ad,
which only happens occasionally. I have FireFox 1.0.5, which is the latest
version available to me with Linspire(Linux). I have the required video plugins,
but the video clips will not play. Also, the video will use the same plugin
every time, even if I select a different plugin.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://et.yahoo.com
2.Click on a video link


Actual Results:  
An ad will play, but the video stops after the ad.

Expected Results:  
Video should continue to play, to view the indended video.

I now have Firefox 1.0.6, & this bug still exists. Has this been resolved in
version 1.5?

I'm still having this problem with FF version 1.0.7. Any word on it being fixed?
