379193 - abc.go.com - new video player does not work in Gecko browsers except Firefox

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Steve Chapel]

Reproducibility: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://abc.go.com/
2. Click on the WATCH ABC SHOWS ONLINE NOW button

Expected Results: Video player starts, or the plugin is installed
Actual results: The page says the video player is only available for IE, Firefox, and Safari

Adding Firefox/3 to general.useragent.extra.seamonkey works around the annoyance page, but the install for the plugin doesn't work in SeaMonkey.

If this is also broken in Minefield, this bug should block bug 334967.

Using Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051202 Firefox/3.0, I can watch the full episodes on Mac, but there are hendrix users reporting the player does not work in Windows. Apparently if you run Windows you must use IE.

I'm not able to test this. Can someone confirm the issue still exists?
