    Since a couple of poitn releases back, Firefo's homepage has featured a video intended to show off its pligin-free capabilities. This video does not play on my PC for more than about 4 seconds. Has anyone else noticed this?

    I assume it's something on my PC but if it's supposed to be all self-contained I don't see why there would be a plugin conflict. It's not that I want so see a bunch of smug douchebags welcoming me to firefox but if this is their demo, I'm not too confident their technology actually works.

    Do you have a link to the page? Is it http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.0.1/firstrun/ ?

    No, it opens when you've first upgraded to a new point release, but I can't get to it again

    I had this same issue at first, then some web-based video services started to do the same (would play the first few seconds and then die on me).

    I eventually killed some of my extensions, having had too many installed, and somewhere in the purge managed to fix it. Unfortunately I don't have a list of what I got rid of, so I can't offer anything more specific than that :(

    I'll try find some other video that works in the same way and test it with no extensions.

    The 'whats new' page for 3.5 are what you're talking about?

    http://en-gb.www.mozilla.com/en-GB/firefox/3.5.8/whatsnew/

    The video works ok here.
