Since February BBC iPlayer content no longer plays via Firefox but is OK by Internet explorer. Why?
After several years using Firefox in Feb '16 BBC iPlayer content for video or audio no longer works. A display of 'This content is not currently available' is shown After a day of desperation I found that there was no problem accessing via Internet explorer. I still use Firefox for everything else and bless the day I made it my default browser.
