By the way, are you using a Flash plug-in in K-Meleon to view the videos
at YouTube? If so, you don't need Flash there. Google is one who has
embraced using HTML5/Javascript to provide viewing of videos so you
don't need Flash. Both Flash and Silverlight are in their death throes.
I do not have Flash installed. When I visit YouTube, they test
functionality of my web browser, see Flash is not available, so they use
their HTML5 viewer to show my their videos. Lots of sites have
converted to HTML5 viewers (and discarded Adobe's Flash) but there are
still lingerers. So far, of the lingerers I've found, I can still the
content that I want to see or I can find it elsewhere.


I was using Flash. Now that I cant get that extension to work, I am
downloading the videos using a website called "SAVEFROM.NET". I cant
watch videos live, being on dialup. And when I go to a WIFI place, I'm
not going to watch hours of videos at the library or a restaurant, or
more likely in my car. I just download them to my HDD, then watch them
at home.

I did not know that Flash is no longer needed though. Thanks for that
info.
