Re: [LAU] Off topic - Bluegrass for boys!

Running XFCE here, it doesn't work.

My wife's puter has much older version of FF (thanks, Linux Mint!) with
no HTML5 support as near as I can tell. When she watches vids, they're
all in Flash format.

I don't think it's FF per se, it's the video driver being used by the
particular machine. Some support HTML5, some don't. Even true (I
understand) on Windows, but to a much lesser extent.
