Go to this page:

http://www.townhall.com/talkradio/Show.aspx?RadioShowID=1

and click on any "Listen Now" link.

You will be instructed to install an Active X plugin and restart Firefox.  After installing and restarting, try again.

This time, there is a small popup with an error message:

"TypeError: document.mediaPlayer.SetCurrentPosition is not a function"

When you close the popup, you will again be instructed to install the plugin.

This happens with 1.5.0.6, 1.5.0.7, and 2.0 beta 2 milestone.



Reproducible: Always

Clearing blocking request, this is not even close to meeting the Fx 2 blocking criteria

If I install the Active X plugin and then use User Agent Switcher to pretend to be MSIE, the audio links work perfectly.

Therefore I am reclassifying this bug as "tech evangelism".

They seem to have switched (at least in trunk Camino and Firefox 2 on Mac) to a Flash-based audio player, so FIXED.
