Bing had infiltrated my system and I tried everything before having to resort to resetting Firefox. I've installed the latest Java and Flash but cannot access this content that I could before the reset.

I have recently started using: 

http://www.stream2watch.me/

...figure that's where Bing initially came from. Can still watch that though.

Any thoughts?

My system is:

iMAC OSX 10.7.5

Thanks

Hey... figured it out. My DNS set-up was compromised because of an earlier trial version of a service I had used.

Sigh... thanks Firefox folk!

Try this and let me know if it works.

Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as Youtube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:

On Windows Vista and above, you can disable Flash protected mode by following the instructions on these pages:

(See this Adobe blog post for technical details about Flash protected mode.)


For recent updates for Adobe Shockwave Flash, please update your version to 14. Please refer to the security updates and Adobe Security Bulletin for more information.

Please tell us if this helped!

I have the latest Flash/Java installed... can't get the latest RealPlayer because I'm on OSX 10.7.5. Can I get an older version of Realplayer for my OS? Will that work?

Thanks!

Yes. If your player is incompatible with your current OSX you'll need too upgrade or downgrade. Try this link and see if you can find one that is compatible. http://www.oldversion.com/windows/realplayer/

What version of Real Player would I need for OSX 10.7.5? Here's a screenshot of a website I visit all the time and how it looks now.

Any thoughts on what's happening here, obviously something is broken.

OK... my screen shot won't load. Specs needed for that?
