Do you have your security settings too high? Sound like you are blocking java
script or something like that. I have Firefox and an add-on allows you to
block java by default, hence if I go to a new site with flash player or similar
it won't work untill I give it permissions. However you often get some sort
of message saying you have java disabledetc.. but not always.
Youtube won't work without java either

not blocking javascript or anything like that. Also when i try to get to the website in firefox it goes to 4 bars and then nothing happens. its really weird no matter what i do i cant get it working in firefox....it does however work in internet explorer but then I get all the pop ups so dont want that.

its a friends computer not mine so knida frustrating as they are of limited techincal ability.
