494360 Thu Feb 28 19:35:31 -0800 2008 2 40 Technical Help 0 3445774 During the morning and afternoon when I check in to Chowhound see what's new, all is well. Late afternoon and evening, I get a message across the top of my screen saying that I need plugins to see all media that's available on the page. I'm using firefox 2.0.0.12. I wonder why the message only appears in the evening (I'm located in northern California and using Mac OS X version 10.4.11.) Do I need these plugins? Will I harm my (elderly) iMac by downloading them? Thu Feb 28 19:35:31 -0800 2008 10775 California Sunshine 1 3445879 Does it say what plugins specifically? The video and some of the ads use Flash, so it might be prompting you to upgrade your flash player.
