Online TV / contour and Latest Firefox

Recently updated to Firefox v56. The online TV no longer works on my PC. I can get to the site and see the channels. Can select a channel to watch. Can select "watch." The just spins!!! No matter what channel I select. I can go with the old MS IE and that seems to work.

Any updated requirements from Cox that have not yet been advertised?

    Well did all that and same result - just sits there trying.

    Can easily get access with MSIE, following same process.

    Recommend Cox check into this. Firefox is moving away from Flash and other such plug-ins for playing such content.

    Tnx,

    John

  • Thank you for the recommendation John. I forwarded your comments to our development team.

    The latest update of Firefox no longer works with Contour.  What to do Cox?   Firefox has moved away from Flash and other such plug-ins for playing such content.  

    I can watch Contour in any other browser...but not Firefox since the Firefox Quantum 57.0 update. 

  • LuLu21,

    When signing in at https://watchtv.cox.com it may be necessary to enable flash in FireFox. There should be a link that says something like "If flash is installed, click here to enable it." and a dropdown should ask if you want to Enable Now or Always Enable for https://watchtv.cox.com. Once enabled you should be prompted to name your device.

    Could you explain exactly where the setting is in Firefox for Flash? Contour brings up the guide but when I press watch it just shows the 3 dots over and over again without bringing up the program.

    Tools-->Add-ons-->Look for Shockwave Flash.  You'll see a drop-down box for options to Ask to Activate, Always Activate or Never Activate.
