Updates on the WDTV Live Deezer app and Best Buy.COM webpage loading problems

Recently I mentioned that BESTBUY.COM was not working correctly with Mozilla's Firefox Browser. My Firefox browser was recently updated automatically when I started Firefox and this happened after I first posted about the BESTBUY.COM incompatibility issue.

Unfortunately, the updated Firefox browser continues to have problems loading pages from BESTBUY.COM. I have to click the stop button on the browser and then reload the page using the reload page button at the top of Firefox before the Best Buy pages tend to appear. Hopefully Mozilla and Best Buy will see this and work out their incompatibility issues soon.

I also recently mentioned that the Deezer application on the WDTV Live Plus media player has a search feature which returns no results no matter what you enter as a search term.

Well I installed Deezer on an Archos 32 Internet Tablet and went to the Deezer website. While you can listen to radio stations on Deezer and listen to the top music lists, the search feature is disabled on all the methods I have tried. This used to be not the case with Deezer. However, Deezer is in the process of doing official launches in other parts of the world such as in the UK next month and here in the US in the future even though they let certain devices here in the US already access certain features of their service.

I know what you are probably thinking. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to not allow certain features to be used until a certain date, but it probably has to do with getting rights to use music here in the US that they already can use in Europe where Deezer is based out of. Hopefully Deezer will get their full US service up soon or it will probably be time to start looking for alternative music services.
