Firefox

[Chelle]

Okay there's been lots of talk of Firefox lately so I downloaded it. Now when I click on the link to listen to the Crazy Frog video it won't let me. So what setting do I need to change to allow me to see it?

I tried uninstalling Firefox and it still wouldn't let me view it.

:cry:

Anyone else have problems?

Not sure what frog video you're talking about. I use FireFox every day and I love it. :)

I haven't downloaded most of the plug-ins for it though (Like Flash).

You probably just need to download a plugin.

The crazy frog video that is the most annoying thing in the world and is from a phone ring. See Jihna's Avatar. You've seen it.

Anyway I don't understand howcome I was able to view it before and now I need to download a plug in. I'm computer illiterate/retarded I know.

Well you were using Microsoft Internet Explorer before, I presume. Different program requires different plugins. When you use FireFox and you don't have a specific plugin to view something a little green icon appears in the top of the window. You can click that icon to try to acquire the plugin.

I havn't been able to see videos and such of a lot of kinds with Firefox, even after downloading the plugins.. supposedly they are working on that, but I still like firefox too much to uninstal it. If I wanna see a video that badly I use IE just for that. But if you happen to find a plugin that works, PLEASE lemme know.

Strange thing is.. I went back to IE and was still unable to view it.

It isn't only plugins, it's also your browser configuration. You need to check that to make sure you are giving your browser permission to even load those flash animations.

Up on the very top of your browser it a menu bar. Usually found in "Edit" (depending on the browser), is "Preferences" or "Settings" or something similar. Open that up, and look around in there. You should see something about animations and/or graphic files being loaded up, with a checkbox or little round thing you need to click in. It'll say something like "Load graphics" with options like "Always permit," "Permit only from approved sites," and "Never" and "Always ask first."

If you have a firewall, you can pick the "Always" option and you should be all set.

If it still isn't working, check the same "type" of configurations on your firewall, it could be that somehow the firewall has decided not to allow you to receive flash files from the internet browser.

I'm not sure of the *exact* instructions for Firefox but I use Netscape which is also a Mozilla product, and they work similarly.

I know I use forefox and have not had any issues.

I wish i had as my nephews also loved that damned frog video too.

Le crie.

I echo what was said, just check the plug ins, I know i needed to add like 3 or 4 in the first few days i was using firefox, but overall I give it an A.
