    I am tring to view a video on mtv. Hasn't worked but others have on there and it said "video not properly up for last few days" (its a new show) Anyways I go there just now and says I need new Adobe 10 .. so I download and install it.. restarts firefox.. says something about 1 of my new addons aint capadible .. so I figure its the adobe.. and it takes me to the firefox website. SO I was going to try to upgrade my firefox. I don't know what it is..number wise.. But I notice things popping up saying firefox is able to be updated.. but to slow when I go to click it.. so how to I upgrade my firefox? Go to the site and download the newest one? Or uninstall my firefox now and reinstall new? I got tons of bookmarks on firefox. I've got 3.0.16 firefox I got it fixed now. Some reason it updating now.. Hopefully fixes it on restard.

    It works for me with FF.

    Have you tried using IE for that one video. I have occasional problems with FF blocking embedded videos on certain sites and they usually play in IE.

    This video played for me in Opera, Chrome, FF, IE and Safari on a four year old Dell XPS 400 with 2 Gig of RAM running Windows XP Pro SP2.

    Seems like same specs :-D Also I was going to answer with is I've watch that site shows many times on firefox mostly. Also the video now works (website must of been stupid). Anyways thanks for advice. Also would anyone know why my IE always runs slow? I've made post before no one really answers them.(if anything it something to just mess with something). But my IE is so slow I stopped using it few yrs ago. Also specs is Small RAM Dell Xp windows home edition.. demension 4700, dsl internet. And I don't got anything on the computer cept 2 bigger programs.

    IE 7 I did have 8 but I was told to try to revert back and still nothing. I even tried going back to 8 and nothing. I tried to uninstall and I it wont.

    I don't think you uninstall IE like other programs, at least before 8 you didn't, as much as you simply roll back to the previous version. So when you uninstalled 7, you find yourself with IE 6, and if you uninstall that you find yourself with IE5, etc., etc..

    Yeah but I just don't get why IE runs like it would on Dial up when its on a quicker thing. Thats why I switch to firefox because its faster and was safer at the time.
