Ahh, that's why I don't have such compatibility problems (usually the issues I do have are due to my about:config settings). I never want Firefox displaying video and deliberately disable that. I always download and watch video with a separate player program, and if I can't download, I don't watch. I do have trouble with some sites blocking me or sending me into captcha hell because they think I'm a "bot". It seems to be more than just using Firefox behind that though - it's some fatal combination of IP address, OS, browser, and browser configuration that changes week by week. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
