[Bug 575602] Re: Connecting with BBC Radio 4 unavailable

[Scunnered]

Draycen

Again my thanks for your additional information.

Attempted to listen to 07:00 news to be denied yet again. As usual I was
using the link on the BBC News page.  Went to the Today home page with
the same result.

Opened up my mail and and found your post which worked.  That at least
is minimal progress.

The obvious question is what ever happened to working just out of the
box. To have FF so badly underperform is not acceptable! Why are we
being foisted with this miserable browser.

I hope that you and others can please work your magic in order that
normal service can be resumed.

Again my thanks

Ian
