Firefox question for you awesome DU computer wizards!
For some reason, when I click on a yahoo news story, for example....

The ads and pictures don't show

The box shows what appears to be the QuickTime logo with a question mark in the middle of it.

Puting the cursor over it seems to indicate it's a Macromedia application.

I've downloaded the Macromedia plug in and installed it, and I've re-installed Firefox.

But nada.

Any ideas? (I have a 2005 Mac)

Thanks everybody! :pals:

If so, disable it.
