Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5 GTB5

Firefox works well (always has( with BBC radio player and via Firefox page. BUT! just happen to download Safari update and Firefox said: turn on Javascript to play BBC radio. BUT! javascript is and always has been enabled. So, not to miss the programme, I turned on Safari and played BBC radio and all worked!! Could Safari somehow maliciously mess up Firefox and therefore users HAVE to move from Firefox to Safari to play BBC??  This may not be a "bug", and may be nothing to do with Safari...but its annoying all the same, and the coincidence of the Safari update seems interesting.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
can't play BBC radio via Firefox...


I'll download Firefox again and see what happens, but I know I have the latest version (3.5.5) already installed.
