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.
