MSNBC blocks Firefox users for Democratic Presidential Debate?

October 30, 2007

Is MSNBC blocking Firefox users from viewing the live stream of the Democratic Presidential Debate? For 30 minutes I have been trying to view the debate at msnbc.com (Firefox), but only to receive a "Sorry, this video is unavailable" message each time.

Finally, I thought well, the stream must really be experiencing some high-traffic, so I thought to myself "maybe they're blocking Firefox users to keep the traffic down." And sure enough I open up IE7 and the stream loads up immediately, anyone else have a similar experience?

no one else had a similar experience because if they had trouble they would just turn on a tv.

Unless they didn't have cable and couldn't tune MSNBC in using their rabbit ears.
