Re: I just tried it on Firefox...

and strangely, no extension shows up.
So what did it install?

Re: I just tried it on Firefox...

After allowing the install, about:plugins shows
Mozilla ActiveX control and plugin support
    File name: npmozax.dll
    Mozilla ActiveX control and plugin module
which seems to be this (which I've read about before, but briefly):
»www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm

Google on the DLL name reveals more...

Re: I just tried it on Firefox...

I guess the same way one uninstalls any Mozilla (Netscape, etc) plugin - remove it from the plugins directory!
In searching to see if there's a 'better' (automated) way, this was fun to see:

Re: I just tried it on Firefox...

AOL couldn't have screwed this up more if they tried!

"There is an ActiveX plugin available for Mozilla. However, installing it can cause many problems, including crashes and conflicts with installed plugins. It is generally recommended that you do not install this plugin, unless you are specifically instructed to do so or are using it to solve a specific problem (and configuring it accordingly). If you install it and have problems, the only support you will usually get is "Uninstall the ActiveX plugin". You have been warned. "

along with the *shwoosh* *swish* *snap* sound effects.
What were they thinking?

score: 2 out of 10.

The HQ video works great for me in IE.

This is pretty cool!
