The only other browser I have installed is Opera 9.something. It couldn't display the animations and instead popped up a dialog box asking if I wanted to open it in Movie Player (Totem). I tried it, but Totem threw up an error. Back in Opera I tried again and this time tried VLC. Again I got an error message. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
