I tried that but got a very strange result--just a loud blip and a streak of light.
However, turns out I had downloaded a program called Any Video Converter to get some clips off of my motorola Q and I could use that to pull stuff off of YouTube and convert it to an mpeg or wmv.
Then I just insert the file into the PP presentation.
So I guess I should have pressed some buttons and then saw what happened.

All is well that ends in pizza.
There is a Firefox add-on that i added that lets me "override all compatibility" on extensions not officiallly updated for the current version of firefox.
"Nightly tester tools"
it can't fix them all, but I've had a lot of success.

Thanks LeN, I'll have a look at Tabkit.
I turned off a few things in Tab Mix Plus and it's much less annoying now.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
Is there another (current) extension that will do this? Remembering to Ctl-T every time I want a new tab is a PITA.
word. i actually just switched to Firefox and that's one thing that's driving me nuts.
If one wanted to download a video from YouTube to use in a PowerPoint presentation, how would one go about doing it?
I have the YouPlayer extension in Firefox installed and it does that, Cash. i haven't actually used it yet, but it seems simple enough. [link]

Another computer question for the experts here--now that I've got my new laptop and have put all my files/pictures onto a disc for transfer, should I just reformat the hard drive on the old desktop before recycling/sending it to Goodwill?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
You should do more than reformat.
