No problem. This was an eye-opening ‘adventure’. LOL.

Gosh, I’ve never had this kind of problem streaming videos, but apparently my FF settings aren’t as good as they should be, and my daily browser, Opera, which has heightened security, isn’t accepted by that site.

I was just surprised at the ferocity of attack and pile-on on that site; usually, it’s a subtle file download with a virus attached, but this was really blatant. Yikes! Guess I’m far more vulnerable with FF than with Opera.

Both Norton and Windows Defender intercepted numerous files which were ‘risky’, or just plain ‘dangerous’. So I bailed on trying anymore at the site.

Thanks for the FlashPlayer settings; I’m checking mine now and making some ‘adjustments’.

It seems most people with FF use Adblockerplus and have no problem.
Most people dowenload the videos because high quality causes pauses in the stream. That’s why I gave up on Netflix on my DSL. But, I believe, you need a special downloader program for that. There are good free ones.

a less tricky place, if you’re up to try again, is http://board.dailyflix.net/index.php?/topic/113-the-walking-dead-2010–/?hl=%20walking%20%20dead

It’s not as well organized and the quality is very high so streams might pause. The first episode is about 3/4 of the way down on the page.
