Here are a coulple of things you can do...
Type in about:plugins in the address bar and check to see if Shockwave flash is present and enabled. If it is, then the plugin should run. Also check that QT is present and enabled.
Go to Tools/Options/Downloads and click on Plugins. Check to see that Shockwave flash objects are checked/enabled. Also make sure QT is enabled.
BTW... I use FF ver 1.07 and you may need to look elsewhere in ver 1.5, but the info about Shockwave should still be relevant.
Also, are you on dialup, or broadband? Try going to HERE and see if the flash works. If the flash works on this page, then you have a problem with Quicktime and it may just be that you need to set your QT preferences up.

Try it again or type in www.alohaair.comAlso, I checked the webpage you gave me, but it says it can't find the server
It would be good to know if any of your flash is working that's why I linked you to that page.

Do this... (note, the following will wipe your bookmarks, so back them up to your desktop before continuing).
Uninstall FF, then delete the folders located at...
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Application Data\Mozilla
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
After you do all the above, reinstall FF and launch it. Then go... HERE to download the Flash Player plugin. Clicking on the download link will take you to the Macromedia site for downloading. Download and install the flash plugin, then close and relaunch FF
Don't install any other extension/plugins until you check if flash is working.
To test flash, go to THIS PAGE... it's a flash base site. If the site loads, then your flash is working. If it does load, then select Media from the menu. This will take you to some surfing videos that uses flash to load Quicktime media. See if these videos run. If not, let me know.

Yah, it was probably hidden... and yes, that's why FF kept all your previous settings.Just for the record, I wasn't able to find the C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Application Data\ folder (now that I think about it , it may be hidden or something), so I didn't delete it. That didn't seem to affect anything though, and FF kept all my previous settings.
Happy browsing!
