    I have windows 8.1, just loaded firefox and got this same message at the web site:

    http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt?open=514&objID=1592549&mode=2

    It works fine on IE and it worked on Chrome, although I hate the Chrome browser now that they have made weird changes that are frustrating.  Youtube and other shows run fine on Fox, so far.  It seems that maybe live streaming is the firefox problem.

    This fix did not help on my Windows 7 Home Premium and IE version eleven (11).  Most annoying.  I must be doing something wrong.  It may help you to know I just installed this new desktop computer (Lenovo Idea 410) and ViewSonic monitor.  Using HDMI cable. Maybe that's the problem?
