    Re: What do I need to see it?

    The page has three rendering errors:
    1) in their "library.css" style sheet:
    .pagination a.disabled {
    cursor:default;
    opacity:0.3;
    /*ie hack*/
    filter:alpha(opacity = 30);
    zoom:1;
    /*end ie hack*/
    }
    2) same function, but on the "zoom:1;" line

    "filter" and "zoom" are not defined in the style sheet so they are dropped.

    3) In the URL itself:
    Warning: Expected ':' but found 'undefined'. Declaration dropped.
    Source File: http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Shows/The_.../ID=1311023534
    Line: 0

    The first and second errors suggest that the code is mis-identifying the FireFox browser as IE, but switching the FF browser agent to IE is even worse.

    So, my first thought is that the URL is fashioned in such a way that IE ignores the error but FF doesn't I don't have access to IE to test this hypothesis. I noticed that Google's Chrome browser cannot play the video either. BTW, Chrome is nothing to write home about.
