Howto: Firefox - Foxnews videos

[clem]

In Bea, Firefox doesn't show the http://www.foxnews.com videos, the sound works but there's no picture.

To fix this problem:

- install greasemonkey in Firefox by pointing at this link:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/ ... 7.0-fx.xpi

- then restart Firefox.

- then install this script in Firefox by pointing at this link:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/1371.user.js

Here you go

I don't like Fox News, but occasionally I have to watch videos to see what they're lying about. Thanks it works like a charm.

Hi,
Help, fox news script worked well for a few days. Now just sound with no video. I have tried reloading everthing several times with no luck. Has Fox News changed something?

Cant seem to get to either of those links provided.

I used to have no issues in Firefox opening videos on the Fox News site, but now its pretty much a no go.

I have the same problems in Ubuntu as well.

Greasemonkey is here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748

The link to the script works. Fox video plays fine here.

I tried these suggestions and mine still didn't work. Then I tried something novel. I sent Fox News an email telling them I could not watch their videos and I got a nice email from them the next day saying that they will fix my problem. They asked me what operating system and browser and gave me some hints to look for and within a few seconds I was watching videos. My problem was I had noscript installed and it was blocking videos. If you will contact Fox News they will gladly assist you with any problems you may have.

That's good to hear that they actually got back to you and offered some help. I've tried to watch videos on TSN.ca before and it just displays this lovely message:

Sorry, your OS is not supported!
We recommend Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Mac OS X.

I've sent them emails before and listed out the large number of sites that I am able to watch videos on and expressed by displeasure with their poor offering. Now I get my sports highlights online from sportsnet.ca.
