Livecamnetwork Now Open To Firefox
By Greg Jones / MediaGuy, Fri Dec 9th

(CyberSpace) September 13, 2005 - LiveCamNetwork.com andit's brethren of 2much.net-powered live video chat sites are nowavailable to users of Firefox, the Mozilla browser currentlygiving Internet Explorer a run for its money.

"The fix for Firefox to support Windows Media 9 has beenavailable for quite some time," said 2much head Mark Prince."But it was very hard to do for a lot of people, and we weren'table to take on the extra support"

While not a simple click install, enabling the ActiveX controlfor Media Player 9 on Firefox is a fairly painless procedure.Users can read the tutorial at the MozillaZine forums or more detailed specifications in the Mozillazine knowledge base.

Firefox is generally recognized as the safest of browsers, witha staunch resistance to any browser/Windows-controlling programsurfers might encounter, especiailly via ActiveX, which is apart of Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

Who, after all, hasn't opened a new browser and found theirhomepage changed to "Porn for Librarians" or some such unwantedwebsite?

LiveCamNetwork,



however, was blocking Firefox since many userswho might purchase time didn't understand why they weren'tgetting video. Complaints would build up - and the chance forchargebacks.

"Chargebacks are bad for the customer," said Prince. "Since thebilling company might decide to block your card because of it."Consumers could find themselves unable to make a purchase on anynumber of sites that company processes.

"But now that installing WM9 on Firefox is easier, we feel thatwe no longer need to block Firefox from accessingLiveCamNetwork.com," said Prince. "It was especially tough sincealmost everyone in our office uses Firefox, but had to switch toIE just to view our own sites."

The news is also good for affiliates of LiveCamNetwork, sincemore surfers can now be referred to the site, whose chathostesses have turned it into a high-conversion, high-retentiongoldmine.

2much.net and LiveCamNetworkchat hostesses are currently among the featured players in theShowcase docu-soap series Webdreams, "So I guess itwas about time that LiveCamNetwork was opened to Firefox."
