There is no support for VBScript and ActiveX, two technologies which are the reasons for many IE security holes.

I posted this earlier from Mozilla's website, which leads me to believe that any and all Firefox plugins pertaining to activex, are most likely for a windows version of Firefox. The only two extensions that mentioned activex are in fact for windows versions. Here you go anyway:

This is the one the AOL.com is trying to get me to install:

When it is requesting permission, it says "Firefox 1.5+ WM DRM ActiveX Control"

Here is another one that basically does the same thing as the first:

http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/mozactivex-ff-15.xpi

When it is requesting permission, it says "Mozilla Firefox 1.5 ActiveX Plug-In"

I tried one of the previous poster's suggestions with the user agent strings. The first one just reloaded the page over and over again. The second one gave me a page that said either my OS or my browser or both needed to be upgraded.

So I tried an updated version of the Macintosh string and it seemed to play the videos without any sort of control (stop play mute etc). It also causes the Firefox to act very buggy, sometimes freezing without notice or any obvious cause. When Firefox does freeze, I have to right click it in the kicker and choose close. Of course this shuts down every open Firefox window I have open. Is your browser showing the default user agent id? This seems to be a half-fix for me.

I knew I had the capabilities to play the videos (and the songs, and the page with the full CDs that play, they all seem to work too), I just had to get around that "needing activex" problem. I will just try some other strings until then. I used the one under Safari on this website:

thanks again

Tried Firefox in Windows, same error message. I didn't try to install plugin, I just wanted to see what FF4WIN was going to tell me on the same site.

Please post a link to this site, I still get none of these browsing around on AOL on windows or linux in any browser.

I see that this entry is a bit dated, but I just want to point out that it is possible to watch the video content using a native linux browser. Assuming you use firefox, all you have to do is install user agent switcher extension.

then add an entry to the list

Description: Safari (Intel)
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/418 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/417.9.3

App Name: Netscape
App ver: 5.0
Platform: Intel

If you want to listen to the XM radio content you will need to install the windows version of firefox-1.5 (ff2 not working).

I did this and now it asks me to install Apple Quick Time. What is the next step?
