AFL website + firefox

[the_boy_jake]

Anyone running

1. Windows
2. Firefox as primary browser

and having severe problems with the AFL website. Since I installed the mandatory silverlight (microsoft garbage) plugin that the AFL/Telstra c0cksuckers demand you use to view their media, every time I log on to the AFL website it freezes for about a minute and then composes itself.

If I use explorer it works fine.

I have similar problems too Jake, although I don't run windows.
I do run a program called no script which allows me to determine if sites can run scripts or not. If i can access what i want on the AFL site without allowing scripts to run then I'm fine, but once I allow their their scripts to run  Firefox freezes and I get a message about a script causing problems and do i want to wait or stop the script in question.

So it seems that at least one of the scripts on the AFL site doesn't agree with Mozilla

Cheers Al,

It was fine until I installed microsoft silverlight. I think I probably need to make IE the default browser and silverelight the default media player before it will work, but that is too much to expect.

afl.com.au requested the silverlight plugin to be installed for Firefox (mozilla), Opera and Google Chrome, after the install I found several sites would no longer stream as previously visited. Sometimes the video streams would just time out.

Went back to IE8 (Internet Explorer no plugin requested on the same sites. The video streams always work and faster start up than any of the above apps.
