Default Re: Switched to FireFox

Question: I have been a Yahoo Launchcast user for four years now and have been really happy with the service. Problem is that I have never gotten it to work with Firefox. I would always get an error saying that it was not supported. Now I know there is some ways you can work IE within Firefox, but I have not pushed this so much. I am not a great IE fan, but it works well enough that I just seem to defer to it even with Firefox loaded, especially since if I am going to have my browser up I listen my Yahoo tunes.

Ideas/Suggestions? I feel like a AOL user the way everyone talks about Firefox.

OK, I guess the fix was for watching Launch videos, which I believe you can solve by installing the FireFox ActiveX control.

There is no way to run Launchcast on FF however (apparently). My recommendation is to download the AT&T Yahoo Messenger and listen to Launchcast on that.
