QuoteYogi It doesn't work for me with 75.1. As for prefs, I have set them identic in both 75.1 and 76. Whatever, maybe I'm missing something. Videos on YouTube are playing nice for me in 76 as they do in 75.1. I guess it depends on the hardware and OS in use. I've noticed that videos other than those from YouTube play smoothly in 76. YouTube is getting to be a pain in the butt

QuoteJohnHell But are you using 75.1? As I told above, in Firefox 31.7, or Gecko 31.7, as you prefer, it works. K-meleon 75.1 is based on Gecko 31.8, so if something got fixed then, should work in 75.1. Otherwise there might be some pref, as you pointed in the initial post. It might be so obvious to tell this, but, by your forum signature, I know you are running 75, but not which one. I&#

Quotegordon451In 1998, M$ merged the display part of IE with the W98 OS, thus cementing their monopoly on browsers. This incorporation with the OS ensured that IE would always load faster than any other browser, until K-Meleon.

I discovered K-Meleon two years ago after giving up on Internet Explorer, and KM has been my choice ever since then. It's stable, super fast and can be extensively customized without having to install large extensions that hog resources.

Quoterodocop there are at least 2 cams for Times Square at that page - usual lowres that goes to the startpage inbuilt player and HDcam, that loads its own page. First works fine, second - doesn't. I guess I've always used their HD cams, so I forgot about the embedded versions on the home page. The HD cams seem to have gone over to HTML5. At any rate, they lock up KM if I click any

Ah, ha! I didn't realize there had been a misunderstanding, but in my original post I suggested a sample webcam, Times Square, which is listed on the home page.

It's a real nuisance to keep upgrading browsers just because some websites make them incompatible, when most websites can still be loaded properly.

The browser would open, but would not recognize any URLs, including the o

On second thought, I doubt whether the routing is the problem, because EarthCam's videos play here in TheWorld and in Iron, which are both Chrome-based browsers. I brought up the context menu in the video window and the usual information and settings for Flash were not there, so what I suspected was that EarthCam had stopped using Flash and had switched over to HTML5.
