ive noticed this to be true more so with the new yahoo 6 release and since
updating to latest build firefox 101  even moreso.  I have to use older version
of yahoo to see my sweetheart on yahoo cam.  I thought explorer was causing the
problem but after making sure the settings were correct the webcam and
LAUNCHCAST still fail to work and its not because of a firewall either as I have
them shut down and ports open.  Direfox works with launchcast on a non windows
based operating systenm whats up with that?  they really need to upgrade that
soon that was totally disappointing O wuould like to use the yahoo 6.0 suite
again soon  I hope Mozilla works on this and I will be happy to continue saying
they are the best browser there is.

this happens when loading the applet at games.yahoo.com as well, though it may
be a problem with adblock

winxp, firefox 1.0.4, only firefox and xchat loaded, site works in IE
