Hi. Of a sudden can't stream live radio anymore. I've tried disabling all extensions and stopping hardware acceleration, but that hasn't changed the situation. However, operating Firefox in safe mode DID allow streaming.

Suggestions, please, and thanks. Have I noted somewhere Firefox has a streaming option?

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block (wanted) content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block (wanted) content.

Firefox shows the shield icon at the left end of the location/address bar in case Content Blocking is blocking content.

  • click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection

You can check the Web Console about what content is blocked

If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing the problem by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.

Close and restart Firefox after each change via one of these:

  • "3-bar" menu button -> Exit (Power button)
  • Windows: File -> Exit
  • Mac: Firefox -> Quit Firefox
  • Linux: File -> Quit

Please be specific... what site? I routinely use msnbc.com/listen (their audio feed).

BUT there is a MALWARE site out there that you should avoid: freeliveradio-dot-com ... it will infect your computer. Google freeliveradio malware; there was discussion here (along with other browser vendors) a month or so ago.

The radio I usually listen to is Maine Public Classical (music.)

I looked at a couple of those live radio sites and declined to load them. If I can live stream MPBN on Chrome I should be able to do so on Firefox as well.

Thanks for the reply

Thanks, Cor-el. It was Content Blocking that did not allow radio streaming.
