BBC iplayer and Firefox not getting along?

[longers]

As per title, I've started getting "This content doesn't seem to working. Try again later".

It works in Internet Explorer ok but I prefer using Firefox if possible.

Any ideas please?

Works fine for me, have you updated to the latest version and checked that you don't have any conflicting plugins / add-ons

Its working for me fine, perhaps you could clear your cookies and update FF and your media players. I've occasionally had similar vids wont work in FF but do in IE, I don't know if its a developer problem its usually rectified in a few days.

Tried all those things thanks, still no joy.

I've just tried to look at the zoobombing vid in the cafe and none of the bbc videos work.

It works fine for me too with Firefox 7.0.1.

It worked for me but after half a minute, it froze but it seemed OK the second time after I reloaded the page I'm using 7.0.1 too

Interesting - I watched the video all the way through, no problem first time.

I've reinstalled the Firefox, the Adobe stuff and still can't get it to work. The only plug in or add on I've got switched on is the Shockwave player.

The BBC have this on their help site which they've changed slightly from yesterday -

Fixed. No idea how, but it is.
