In this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9225405&postcount=10) post here, I was told the reason why my Firefox browser can't display certain things to well.
Does anyone know how to fix it?

You are on windows right? Just dust off IE and use it. CAREFULLY so you don't get viruses.

Tried that.
I just get the Internet Connection Wizard.
Since I'm running Windows 98SE, it still thinks all I have is dial-up.

well, once you actually complete the wizard ... it doesn't show up anymore! *gasp*

How can it be completed when it can't find a dial tone?

Just keep your plugins update and make sure you have all the plugins. Normally when you come across a site that needs plugins (IE has all plugins installed by default and Windows updates will also update them, same isn't true for Firefox), Firefox should pop up with a thing telling you what plugins you need and where you can get them.

You know, that actually makes sense.
I'll try it and get back to you.

First step is probably making sure you have the absolutely most recent version of Firefox...which is... 1.0.4
Also, while you're updating your plugins, might as well install the BugMeNot plugin.

Just get all the plugins when it asks you. I've never had any problems displaying media.

First, you want to make sure you're using the latest build of Firefox, which is 1.0.4. From there, go here (http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/) and download the media plugins specific for your computer and O/S. That URL should be any Mozilla/Firefox user's first stop after installing the browser.
