I think the majority of people use IE

Sadly the shift has gone back in IEs favour at the moment. But this is down to Vista and most people buying new PCs just using the browser it comes with. Therefore IE7 has gained in usage lately.

This is a sad trend to see as IE is complete crap compared to every other browser out there. It is now about the only browser that is still not web standards compliant and IE7 is actually still using the old IE6 engine.

But it isn't quite as bad as it seems. Firefox hasn't completely fallen off the map. In my current server logs (based on 4 servers I maintain) IE has about a 60% market share and Firefox about a 34% share. Before Vista was released Firefox and IEs market share was roughly 49% FF to 45% IE.

It is sad to see that Opera still only has about a 2.3% market share and Safari about a 2.1% share. Opera should be far ahead of Safari because it is a great browser compared to Safari which basically isn't! Although Safari is still a lot more standards compliant than IE.

Lets hope that the soon to be released IE8 will finally be more compliant and nicer to use.

Anyway, back to the actual question. I use FF2 for most of my browsing, and all video and flash works fine. Just not this one. I've also tried it in IE6, IE7, Opera and Safari on this PC and non work. Therefore it could be my spyware. malware or other scanner blocking it from loading.
