Bug report: Ok, this is probably the most difficult bug I've come across thus far since I've used VB. Spent a whole day to find a partial work-around. The problem is that media players (ALL 3 - Windows Player, Quicktime, RealPlayer) will display and play media in IE7 but will only play, but NOT display in Firefox 2 (can hear the audio, but can not see the player or video/ image). First I thought it was a transparency issue similar to the LDM bug fix I did for the Flash and Silverlight players, but setting the transparency/ blend parameters for these players had NO effect. After hours of testing different hacks and trial & error debugging, I found the source of the problem.

Partial work-around: Remove this script from the headinclude template:

<script type="text/javascript" src="$stylevar[yuipath]/yahoo-dom-event/yahoo-dom-event.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>

Removing this script will enable the players to display in Firefox. However, this partial solution is obviously not good since many VB scripts will not work since they depend on that yahoo event script. Andrew, can you PLEASE debug this one? I'll be glad to test out any fix you have. Thanks

Note: testing with VB 3.7.2, LDM 2.2.9-post1, Windows XP (SP2), Firefox 2, Explorer 7, Quicktime 7.5, RealPlayer 11, Windows Player 11, and admin privileges for XP, VB & LDM.
