Why can I not get BBC snooker in fullscreen mode in Firefox when I can
in IE7?

There seems to be a problem with their javascript that limits it to IE
only. I hate it when people don't test with several browsers.

Anyway, it happens... My way around this is to use the IETabs plugin and
to set certain websites to default to the IE rendering engine. That way
they load in IE (encased in a tab in FF)..

Beyond that, you might want to see if you can email someone at BBC about
the javascript not working in all browsers? *shrug*
