    In addition to Flash and NoScript, I also use RequestPolicy.

    I changed a temporary setting in RequestPolicy for BlipTV (which was blocked) and the video initialized, 308MB to be played.

    To be fair, NoScript was updated to 2.5.2 several minutes before the attempt and then the tweak.

    You may want to go back to
    Download Flash Player 11.3.300.257 (Non-IE) 64-bit - FileHippo.com
    I switched to that earlier version of Flash Player but it didn't help.

    EDIT: By the way, My w7 OS is 64 bit but the Firefox is Firefox*32 in Task Manager. Am I doing something wrong there?

    1) I updated NoScript to v2.5.2. That didn't help.

    2) My Firefox has BlipTV list as allowed. But next I will install RequestPolicy.

    I installed RequestPolicy. I added BlipTV.com to the white list, And I selected "permit all" but it still didn't work.

    I reinstalled Flash player back to 11.4.402.265 since the earlier version didn't solve the problem. I still couldn't read the video.

    I restarted Firefox in safe mode with no addons. It still can't read that video. I don't even get the little arrow button in the middle of the screen.

    I created a new profile and called it videos. I installed Flash Player. The results are the same. On the window that opens at http://ourworldtoday.zxq.net/shows/owt081312.html there is no play button in the middle of the screen and the backup button opens to to 404.

    When I open the Add-in area, there are 3 disabled extensions, and 15 active plugins, including Shockwave Flash 11.4.402.265.
