Mozilla has been working great and I have been using it for a long long time.

The minor issue is that with ESPN Motion. It uses Macromedia Flash I believe, but also requires that ESPN Motion be installed on your computer. Well, the annoying videos are occuring, but I never downloaded ESPN Motion. In the FAQ section, ESPN suggests uninstalling the program.
It is kind of hard to uninstall a program that was never installed. Well, I decided to download and install ESPN Motion, start Firefox, close Firefox, and then uninstall Motion. Well that did squat.

Is there any way to get rid of that annoying video on the sidebar? It just started showing up like a week ago and I have never had problems with it thus far.

The extension <a href="http://rip.mozdev.org/">RIP (remove it permanently)</a> might do the trick for you. See also Greasemonkey.

I use RIP and it doesn't do anything for it.

OK then, perhaps try instaling Greasemonkey and the script ESPN Cleaner?
