I wrote Yahoo! back in February asking them when they were going to support firefox (citing that it was the fastest growing browser with a 20% market share). Here was their reply:
Hello,
Thank you for writing to LAUNCH, Music on Yahoo!.
Unfortunately LAUNCHcast is not currently compatible with the OSX system or the Mozilla, Firefox, Safari and Netscape 6-7 browsers. At this time there is no estimated date as to when this service may be available using these applications.
Thank you for your feedback regarding LAUNCH. It is through user comments and suggestions that we are able to expand and improve our service. We are continually updating our programming as a result of feedback obtained from our users.
LAUNCHcast requires the following in order to properly stream media content:
PC
* Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000 Professional, XP Home, or Professional * Pentium II, 233MHz or faster * at least 64MB RAM * Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher * Windows Media Player 6.4 or higher * Macromedia Flash 4.0 or higher
Macintosh
* Mac OS 8.5 or higher * 200MHz PowerPC (iMac OK) * at least 64MB RAM * Netscape 4.5 - 4.79 * Windows Media Player 7.01 or higher * Macromedia Flash 4.0 or higher
Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Customer Care.
Hopefully they reconsider Launch for Firefox. It's the only reason I still go to the dark side.
