IE vs Firefox

[sannitig]

Hello everyone.

I am having an issue with the way IE is displaying video. I go to break.com and I can no longer see the tool bar at the bottom of the video. Well, actually I can barely see it as it is hidden because the video itself didn't size properly. I have attached a picture.

Interesting I can not even view the second picture I just posted...

I get a done, but with errors on the page. Here is the error.

Is the video flash based? Maybe try updating to the latest flash.

IE and firefox use different flash players. Be sure to download and install the ActiveX version meant for IE.

BTW, I can see both of your pictures just fine.

I can see it fine on my iphone and on ff. Just not ie.

I did update flash right after i noticed this but did nothig.

I THINK i got the right flash. Not sure though how do i tell?

The link I provided above is the correct flash for IE.

If that didn't work I'm out of ideas.

Maybe abandon IE :lol:

Do you have any add-ons installed in IE? You may want to try disabling them, and see if that makes a difference.

Also, in IE, move your mouse over where the bar should be. It may be auto hiding.

Some sites just render better with a particular browser. For example, this site is designed to run better on firefox than IE.

looks like plugin issue.
I do not use IE when other browser is available.
