Streaming Quotes

Because Yahoo! doesn't support Macs; they code everything with Windoze users in mind.

That's of course a lot of BS!

No, it's not. Yahoo! doesn't support Macs for any of their services. It works in Firefox because Firefox is the second most popular browser for Windoze, and that's the issue here: Yahoo! codes everything for Windoze. No amount of wishful thinking or blaming of Apple can change that.

Firefox for Windows and Firefox for Macs are completely different browsers!

No, they are not. They are the same browser; the only difference is in the UI.

*"But it still works on Firefox for Macs! "*

Yes, it does. It goes without saying, Safari and Firefox are two different browsers written by two different companies.

So use Mozilla's Firefox. Maybe if enough people complain to Yahoo, they'll suppport Safari.
