mozilla crash when I try to play videos from hulu.com

I am running Fedora 9, the 64bit version. I have it set up to play DVD and I can play swf files at youtube.
All that is working fine on my system, the last hurdle to cross is to be able to play video files at sites like hulu.com
When I try to play a file at that site mozilla just crash and close ...what do I need to do here?

I was a bit surprised at this result because I felt if I could play files at youtube I would be golden anywhere else ... not so, and I am sure there are a myriad of sites out there where I would get the same results with mozilla.

Thanks for your help.

Oh BTW I am using a Nvidia card geforce 9800 gt, I have the driver installed and it works fine, I even have the ability to control the settings.
I got the distribution via a fedora magazine that walked me through most of the set up process, so I did installed the gstreamer good/bad/ugly, I have the xine support for totem setup and the flash plugin installed as well.

All software up-to-date? Got the latest flash-player from the Adobe repo (http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mj...f10.html#flash and see "Installation on Fedora 64-bit")?? How about Java (http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mj...-f10.html#java)??? "Mozilla" is FireFox, SeaMonkey, or what????

If you are currently using the open-source stuff, you may need to remove it so that the two plugins don't fight with each other. You will definitely need to re-start Firefox (or whatever).

You may debug firefox to understand what is happening

Code:
[Linux-Unix, Firefox-3] Starting Firefox in Debug Mode

PRODUCT:    Firefox-3

OP/SYS:     Linux Fedora 9

COMPONENT:  Firefox, plugins

SOURCE:     Hewlett-Packard Corporation

SYMPTOM(S) or PROBLEM(S):

When Firefox suddenly stops because of a SIGSEGV in a plugin, how to start
Firefox in debug mode ?

SOLUTION or HP RESPONSE:

Start Firefox the following way:

     $ firefox -g -d <your preferred debugger software>
     at the debugger's prompt
     debugger> run <URL>

For example:

[root@victor ~]# firefox -g -d gdb
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1:/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/plugins:/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1
DISPLAY=:0.0
FONTCONFIG_PATH=/etc/fonts:/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/res/Xft
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1:/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1
     LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1:/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/components:/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1
       SHLIB_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1:/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1
          LIBPATH=/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1:/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1
       ADDON_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1
      MOZ_PROGRAM=/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/firefox
      MOZ_TOOLKIT=
        moz_debug=1
     moz_debugger=gdb
/usr/bin/gdb /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/firefox -x /tmp/mozargs.WdvGuI
