Yeah! Either Firefox or Real should fix this!!! Im sick and tired every time either of them update thier software, the other software becomes incompatible!!!!Why dont they fix this!

I totally agree. It appears to be the results of incomplete testing by the software provider. In the mean time we are left hanging, while they expect us to praise their efforts to upgrade their products.

Post your complaints and questions on the real.com site; they are ALWAYS lat with compatibility releases. Mozilla is not responsible for 3rd-party developers who do not devote the time during beta testing (Firefox 5 had 7 beta versions over a 4-week period) to test and make their Add-ons compatible with new releases of Firefox. The development plans and release schedule for Firefox versions is readily available to developers, some developers are either too lazy or don't care enough about those who use their products to make the compatibility tests.

Suggestion, get a different video player (maybe VLC from videolan.org), and a decent video downloader from Firefox Add-ons and trash RealPlayer like I did years ago when they were "spying" on people.
