If you're a Firefox purist with a picture of
Bill Gates on your dartboard, stop reading now and just walk away. Because for many, the whole reason for using
Firefox is due to a strong disdain for Internet
Explorer's Active X and all the nasty stuff it opens the door for.I'm happy to not be so pure in my appreciation for Firefox because it means I can now get my Yahoo! Music Videos in my Firefox browser courtesy of an Active X plugin provided by the Yahoo! Music Team. According to their actively maintained and always entertaining blog, "Music Videos now play just fine in Firefox 1.5, and our error messages when we can’t play you a video for technical reasons are now circa 2006, even on the Mac."
Go here if you just can't wait and must skip directly to the instructions and the link to the plugin.
1. Well it didn't work for me, I'm on an iMac G5 by the way. I did everything as told but I'm still getting error messages.
