MSNBC video viewing in Firefox ?

[WyteWatt]

How can you view MSNBC video like this ?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9120777/

Have to click on play video.

I tried using the new IE tab but didn't work. Still asks for a missing plugin but can't find any when I try to install that. I never could get their video to work on firefox

Is there anyway to ?

I hate how they do this to their videos. Its so dumb.

I used to have a plugin that would trick sites into thinking FF was any browser you wanted, including IE 6. I forget what it was called though but if you can find it it may work.

Thanks!

Tried the new IE Tab thing and it made the page do something different in firefox but it still asked me for a plugin I didn't have installed. Tried installing the plugin it was asking for but firefox couldn't find it

It never said what plugin either so not sure. Not even sure if I would beable to get it sense it may not support firefox with the plugin it was asking for.

I hate this kind of video. Why do they do this?

Does anyone know of a way to get it to work?

The extention is called user agent switcher. Is that what you tried?

Still does same thing by asking for I.E. 6.0 , WMP 10, and Flash Player 7

And you set it as IE 6? Maybe it needs active x or something.

Yes.

Have you tired it? If you do you will see the exact same page that I see.

I am able to get it to ask for a plugin with the new IE Tab extension but there is no plugin it can find it download and I don't know if any plugin would even make it work?

I think the problem is I can't get Macromedia Flash 7 for Firefox I can get Macromedia Flash Player 7 of course but thats not the same thing.

Can you get Macromedia Flash 7 for firefox?
