Howto: Firefox - Foxnews videos

Post by 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 :)

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?

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.
