Hi hman- I just checked and the Colbert Report seems to use Flash for their videos. I'm sorry you're having issues. You might want to check out this article for tips on troubleshooting Flash issues:

Hope that helps!

It should work with the latest flash player. Just to be sure you can check your flash player here http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

If it's not flash, try getting rid of everything that Firefox has stored for that website.

Also, FYI, you should download and install the latest Firefox. Firefox 3.6 will only be maintained for a short while and the Firefox is much faster and has all kinds of new features.

Updated to FF 7.0.1, Shockwave Flash 11.0.1.112. Dumped history. Read through "managing the flash player" and tested it - OK. Went to Mozilla plugin check, flash player shown as up to date.

Still no joy.

If you only have problems with certain Flash videos such as those at http://www.colbertnation.com/ but YouTube.com and other Flash videos work, see:

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

• Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

• Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

• Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
