Still can not stream fox news, and Chrome still is working great streaming Fox News...

Streaming starts and stops, rewinds to scenes previously displayed, jumps to new timelines,

then comes up with a window saying ,,, Looks like a loading issue, try again later,,,,,

well I have been "trying again" for six months....

I have reported this several times  !

I am using Firefox on a Linux Mint system

I am almost ready to switch to Chrome as you all don't seem to pay attention to problems !!!

Any relevant-looking messages in the Web Console?

You can check the Web Console (Tools -> Web Developer) for messages about blocked content and about the presence of mixed or unsafe content.

You can check the Network Monitor to see if content is blocked or otherwise fails to load.

If necessary use "Ctrl+F5" or "Ctrl+Shift+R" (Mac: Command+Shift+R) to reload the page and bypass the cache to generate a fresh log.


Make sure you have the latest FFmpeg and libavcodec packages installed.

You can check the connection settings and check for possible issues with a Proxy or VPN service.

  • Settings -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings

If you do not need to use a Proxy to connect to internet, select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

You can try Firefox from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution to see if it behaves differently.

I have latest everything for Linux Mint system As for your suggestions on the monitor, monitor, etc., I tried them and have no idea what I am looking at..

I get his same failure when trying to view the stream using firefox on a windows machine also..

Besides, if I can view the stream with other browsers, it kinda seems like a firefox problem..
