Hi. After years of streaming live tv from the bbc website without a problem, yesterday I was unable to do so. This was immediately after booting up firefox to find I was redirected to a page telling me that firefox had updated. Everything looked normal but when I tried to stream it just stuck on the buffering symbol. I tried to stream from other sites and had no problem streaming ITV, Ch4 etc. Then I tried watching content from BBC i-player and again no problem. I tried to live stream BBC radio and again no problem. Finally I tried live streaming BBC tv through a different browser and again no problem. I tried clearing the cache and cookies and reloading firefox in safe mode all to no avail.

Any ideas? I'm totally stumped...

Thanks in advance...

Keazen oplossing

Make sure you are not blocking content.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

One issue that seems more common lately is Firefox's Tracking Protection feature. When it is blocking content in a page, a shield icon will appear at the left end of the address bar next to the padlock icon. This article has more info on managing this feature: Tracking Protection {web link}
