 Enable Sirius Internet Radio for Firefox

 Go to Applications-Add/Remove
 Download and install the VLC media player.

    * Install VLC
    * Install the firefox media player connectivity plugin https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/446

Launch the player from www.sirius.com. After authenticating, you will now be able to select which stream to play. Selecting the stream will launch vlc.

 Regards,

 Bob
