I use Real Player to play music and videos. I also download videos from You Tube and from other sites thru Real Player which is compatible with Firefox 4.0.1, but not with Firefox 5. Please tell me why?

Chosen solution

Firefox 4.0.1 has been an unsafe browser since the release of Firefox 5. So please don't use it.

Real hasn't made Real Player Browser Plugin compatible with Firefox 5.
