Any ideas for the best people to bug about this? I'm *more* than ready to send
email / phone calls to get yahoo to fix this. Mozilla 1.0 has been out for  two
years now and its the 2nd most popular browser.

I've gotten by the white listing by changing the user-agent to either IE or
Netscape 7.1.
user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Netscape/7.1
(ax); Windows XP;");
Then after installing the ActiveX plugin and adding the registry edits like they
suggest in Win Media Controller I get all the way to where the videos should be
playing.  But they're not.  A strange things happens though when you play a
video using the actual IE behind the mozilla window that should be playing the
video.  Everything on the IE window comes up as black except for the video it's
playing, that can be seen straight through the mozilla window.  I don't know if
that means anything, but I'll keep experimenting to see if mozilla can run the
videos.  BTW I was able to see the WMP demo on Microsoft's web page, so it seems
to work for some things but not others.
