Wine, Firefox, and abc.com

Has anybody tried abc.com or fox.com's episode player on linpus? Obviously the full episode player on abc.com is only available on windows/mac, so in reading that some ubuntu users had success with ff on wine, I have been playing around with it. So far FF2 has not worked on either site. I can get as far as downloading the player, and even hearing sound, but no video.

Fox.com's player showed a section of my desktop..that was weird. I have also noticed a couple of times that trying to watch online causes the entire display to go whacky...some sort of red, orange mess which renders the whole os unusable for practical purposes until you restart, making it go away.

I just tried installing FF3 with wine, and that opens, but it's got asian characters and it freezes.
