I can almost guarantee it's not going to work... pbskids.org uses a mix of flash and shockwave, the latter of which is not available for linux. Making shockwave work on x86 hardware requires wine + windows firefox + mozplugger to embed the windows version of shockwave into the linux firefox process. It's an ugly hack, and won't work here.
