Two follow-on issues I want to raise:

Second...

The 18.1 install gives me a new version of FireFox. Is this suitable for
fetching the flac stream? Or does it need altering in some way? I noticed
that the OS install seemed to bundle 'flash' along with a lot of other
things. So I'm also wondering if I need to un-install that to avoid it
getting in the way. Anyone able to comment on these points. It would be
good to get FireFox working for the flash stream Proms. :-)

The BBC website suggests that Firefox downloaded from the repositories
might have been compiled without the necessary flags set and suggests
that it should be obtained directly from Mozilla.

Firefox 53.0 (installed as an update) on Linux Mint xfce (virtualized
on Mac) fails with the message "this content doesn't seem to be working"
