Firefox 13 and RealPlayer downloader plugins/extensions (Ver 15.04.53 don't play well together. (FlashPlayer 10) With these RPD plugins enabled, Firefox will not even play online videos (such as YouTube) and I get an error message on the video window. Disabling the RP D'loader extensions and plugins allows me to watch videos but then of course there is no downloader graphic button or capabilities. This is the same RPD that I had working well with FireFox 12.

There is an issue that Realplayer and Adobe will have to work out in how the Realplayer plugin and Flash interact. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-crashes-or-does-not-load-firefox-13. Until RealPlayer releases an update, just leave it disabled for now.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly! At least now I know I'm not imagining things.
