Description

[Oliver Moran]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

The site does not support playing music or videos using Mozilla / Firefox. 
Earlier enquiries (circa 2002/2003) reported that it was due to scripting
features in Windows Media Player.  The site does support Netscape.

Is very difficult to contact Yahoo! to complain as a customer, however came
across this link:
http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/launch/cgi_feedback?from_url=http%3A%2F%2Fhelp%2Eyahoo%2Ecom%2Fhelp%2Fus%2Flaunch%2Fcast%2Fcast%2D01%2Ehtml

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://launch.yahoo.com/musicvideos/lists/new.asp
2. Open a music video.

Actual Results:  
Error window reads:

"To use this application with Netscape, you must use a 4.7x or 7.1 version.
Download now.

"Please use the following error code when writing to Yahoo! Help. (Error Code: 12)"

Expected Results:  
It should have displayed a Windows Media plugin streaming good music.
