Vista, Firefox3 crash, Real Player and the BBC

I think that the issue may not be related to Vista alone. How do you do listen again from the BBC? Why does iPlayer work just fine, but an attempt to listen to local radio cause the browser to crash? It seem that real player gold (11) does not get on with Firefox. In my case it all works just fine with IE, but Internet Explorer has so many other problems that I don't want to go into here.

The solution appears to be 'Real Alternative' , which provides the Classic Media Player. It's available in various places, but Free-Codecs came up first on Google. The good people at Secunia will warn you that this is end-of-life, but sometimes that is the price you have to pay to make things work.
