Okay, I cannot stream the Live Earth concert because I use Firefox

[Synnical]

I'm not happy. I do not even have IE loaded on my PC. It cuts out and I have to refresh about every 30 seconds.

Anyone?

Thanks,
Cindy in Fort Lauderdale

1. Unfortunately, I can't help, Cindy

I'm on a Mac, and M$ doesn't even have an OSX version of AIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE! It doesn't stream well on either Firefox or Safari, although a BIT better on Safari.

I blame Microsoft.

2. I'm streaming on firefox on this site

I hope it works for you.

25. thank you!

That works great for my Xubuntu/G3 system!

[PVnRT]

23. That link works for my Firefox

The OP's problem may be that Windows Firewall is blocking Firefox, which happens occasionally.

3. Linux?

I haven't been able to stream anything with Linux Firefox. But Windows works fine.

[El Supremo]

5. I lied.

Doesn't work with windows either.

4. i know your problem. same thing happened to me-memo said to use IE

7. This message of goodwill and global warming brought to you by our corporate overlords...

at Microsoft and GE. GE would like to remind you to support their boiling water nuclear reactors, which they have been pushing recently as an alternative to the dirty coal that releases CO2. They would also like you to consider supporting their new jet engines and GE Genesis trains. Remember GE, the corporation that owns MSNBC and NBC and has a vested interest in global warming, and it just happens to be profit not the fact that millions of people could die from drought/etc. if we don't do something.

8. I haven't had any problem streaming on Firefox.

Wish I could help, but I'm not computer savvy at all.

9. Streaming on firefox

No problem here OS is XPPRO, I had to OK to run thru my Firewall. How much of your RAM is used?

10. Say again?

I have plenty of RAM.

[originalpckelly]

11. I'm using FF too and it's working for me.

It's a deceptive message, it leaves you with the impression you have to use IE in order for you to watch it. Just click the name of the concert (Australia as of now) you want to watch, it should work.

[IDemo]

12. have you tried with the 'IE tab' extension?

13. I'm getting the audio but no video..

I think it's a Quicktime glitch. It was looking for a plug in, but said it was unavailable.

[Breeze54]

15. Are you on Dial Up or DSL or Cable?

I thought you said you did have IE!!

Huh?? :shrug:

Do you have Quick Time installed AND updated??

Thinking...

Updated Firefox lately??

Updated Java?

Updated QT?

On seven continents, millions of people are gathering for Live Earth, a historic music-filled

MoveOn members are joining the party.

In thousands of living rooms, coffee houses, bars and back yards, we'll tune into the global broadcast.

We'll watch a special preview of presidential candidates answering MoveOn members' questions on the climate.

And we'll share a barbeque or potluck meal together. It's the biggest party the planet has ever needed.

17. I had the same problem.

I had to switch to IE. :mad:

[liberalEd]

18. If you have noscript, disable it

recent versions of noscript have kinda sucked.

[deadmessengers]

19. You have IE on your machine

You may have removed a link somewhere, but if you're running a Windows version after 98, you have IE, and it's extremely difficult to remove it. Try clicking start, clicking run, and typing iexplore and pressing enter. That should start IE, and you should be able to watch the concert.

22. Live Earth is on tomorrow all day on Bravo

They just mentioned it. I have over 100 channels. And since nothing is on worth watching, I am watching Crocidile Dundee II on Bravo that's how I found it out.
