wfm with the Real Alternative 6.0.12.1059 (comes with scripting plugin).
This looks like your are using a plugin without scripting support for Firefox.

Fantastic! Thanks so much for the prompt and personal response. I've uninstalled
Real Player and installed Real Alternative in its place and the site now works fine!

I'll close this bug accordingly.
