[bcab] For Tink: Firefox (was Internet Explorer 8)

Hi Tink,
 
It was the BBC Listen Again link for the Saturday play Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde,  
on:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/programmes/schedules/fm/2009/07/25
after the title of the play, where the alt. tag says "Four days left to listen.
 
I tried the same thing on yesterday afternoon's play, "Antimacassars and Eelang 
eelang" whatever", with the same result.  Rightly or wrongly, I concluded that 
Firefox didn't want anything to do with BBC IPlayer.  Basically, I'd click on 
the "4 days left to listen" link, and the Firefox window would disappear, 
usually landing me back in the Jaws window.
 
Best,
Clive

    The error message about the session is a standard Firefox feature now. If 
something closes Firefox unexpectedly, the next time it opens it asks you 
whether you'd like to return to the page you were on when it crashed. In other 
words, do you want to pick up on your browsing session where you left off.
 
    Not sure why the links don't work. If you were on a particular page, could 
you post the address?
 
Léonie.

Hi Angela,
 
I've got Firefox, and tried it last night.  It was great, except that when I 
clicked on any link to listen to a programme on BBC IPlayer, Firefox ducked 
out.  When I went back into the programme, I found a message saying there'd 
been a problem.  "Well, this is embarrassing", it said, and asked if I wanted 
to start a new session or restore the old one.   Restoring the old one took me 
to the page from which I'd gone to get into IPlayer, that is, I went full 
circle.  Does anyone know how I should be able to make the link work?
 
Thanks,
Clive

        Hi all,
         
        possibly stupidly, I've just installed IE8.  Will this work with Jaws 7?
         
        All I seem to be able to get out of the internet is the title of the 
page and "open parent document button", with no webpage content.
         
        If I shouldn't have installed this, how do I roll back?  If I could use 
IE8, how do I get anything sensible out of the Internet?
         
        Thanks,
        Clive
