Can't listen to online radio after upgrading to Firefox 12

more options

Hi Everyone,

Ever since I upgraded to Firefox 12, I can't listen to radio station: http://www.sirasa.com/sirasafm.html I am behind a firewall and go via a proxy but this was never a problem. What firefox used to do was prompt me with the network password dialog and once i fill in the information it use to stream the radio station, however I'm not getting this anymore. I also checked and verified that I have Windows Media plugging installed

Also, I can listen to this station via Internet Explorer no problem.

Really appreciate any help.

Thanks,

That is a stream (audio/mpeg) that is played with the Windows Media Player plugin (np-mswmp).

Try to disable the classic WMP plugin (Npdsplay dll) that you also still have enabled.

Hi mha007,

Thank you for your quick reply. I followed and did 'Remember History', cleared cookies and cache and network cache. Checked updates. None of that seems to fix the problem.

I have no option but to go via the proxy, 'cause once I set 'No Proxy' it want let me access the web at all. The strange thing is that with previous Firefox version I used to get a popup dialog asking for Network password access, now I'm not getting it and can't listen to the radio. And with Internet Explorer I can.....

Revert your network settings to whatever they were so you can connect Firefox to internet.

-> Start Firefox in -> Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if your add-ons/extensions are causing the problems.

Check and tell if its working while using Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.

Thank you both: mha007 and cor-el. Disabling Npdsplay fixed it !!!!!!
