Channel 4 news catchup - http://www.channel4.com/news/catch-up/ The video screen does not even appear. But works perfectly on IE8. Why? How to fix?
I use this site every day on IE8. Channel 4 news catchup - http://www.channel4.com/news/catch-up/
On Firefox 3.6.12, the video window does not even appear on the page, let alone play. Never works!! But it works perfectly on IE8. Why? What is going wrong? How do I fix this?

If you are using NoScript you must temporarily allow both channel4.com and brightcove.com
If you are also using AdBlockPlus, you must temporarily disable it.
That is the only combination that worked for me.
