Sorry.   Firefox v3.0.11. 

Both Opera v9.64 and Konqueror do show cnn.com/crime, which the firefox 
doesn't; neither sees the video clips.

In the openSuse v10.3 installation, both Opera v9.64 and Konqueror also 
see cnn.com/crime (but Firefox v3.0.5 doesn't, although it does see the 
video clips). Neither Opera nor Konqueror show the video clips.
