Yahoo! Music (aka Y! Music aka Y! Launch aka Launch.com) officially requires the use of Internet Explorer to view its videos. You will receive the following message if you try to access it Firefox or Mozilla Suite:
To use this application with Netscape, you must use version 7.1 or above. Download now. Please use the following error code when writing to Yahoo! Help. (Error Code: 12)
Contact them and ask them to support Firefox and Mozilla Suite.
Fortunately there's a workaround. (This doesn't work for Launchcast Radio, just for the music videos.)
- Install Windows Media Player and its Mozilla plug-in for Windows/Mac or mplayerplug-in for Linux, etc. .
- Install Greasemonkey and restart.
- Install the pkLaunch script into Greasemonkey.
- Activate Greasemonkey (click on the sad monkey face on the status bar).
You should now be able to access the videos.
