Flash objects not displaying in Firefox (but works fine in Chrome and IE)

Well, I'm trying to embed a Shockwave Flash object into a website I'm building. It displays in Chrome and IE, but it doesn't show up at all in Firefox. It's just white space. Ive tried it on two machines, so it's presumably the code. Both the machines have Adobe Flash enabled... I'm not sure what the problem is. I've not worked with embedding Flash objects in HTML before, so, it's probably something really obvious. I just used the insert command on dreamweaver and it wrote the code that I'm using. If anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated. Here's my code:
<pre><nowiki><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="99%" height="600" id="FlashID">
<param name="movie" value="The file path" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="swfversion" value="10.1.0.0" />
<!-- This param tag prompts users with Flash Player 6.0 r65 and higher to download the latest version of Flash Player. Delete it if you don’t want users to see the prompt. -->
<param name="expressinstall" value="../Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
<!-- Next object tag is for non-IE browsers. So hide it from IE using IECC. -->
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="the file path" width="99%" height="76.5%">
<!--<![endif]-->
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="swfversion" value="10.1.0.0" />
<param name="expressinstall" value="../Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
<!-- The browser displays the following alternative content for users with Flash Player 6.0 and older. -->
<div>
<h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
</div>
<!--[if !IE]>-->
</object>
<!--<![endif]--></nowiki></pre>

If you can't post an address for a page demonstrating the problem, could you check the Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+k) and Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+j) for any messages related to the Flash media? For example, does either console show that Firefox is requesting the SWF file? Does either show an error in content type or any kind of security message?

  • Page not displayed on server but works fine locally in Jdeveloper

    Hi,
    The page works fine locally when run from Jdeveloper.
    But when the page is imported to server and when the page is called....it trys to load the page for long time and times out and displays the IE error 'The Page cannot be displayed'.
    Do I have to do anything specific in server after importing a page?

    In the CO of the table region:
    public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
    super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);
    ApplicationModuleImpl am1 = (ApplicationModuleImpl) pageContext.getRootApplicationModule();
    SalesOrderHeaders2VOImpl VO1 = (SalesOrderHeaders2VOImpl) am1.findViewObject("SalesOrderHeaders2VO");

    if (HeaderId != null)
    Serializable[] params = {HeaderId};

  • Links no longer work when I try to use Etsy in Firefox, but work fine in Explorer and Safari.

    Until fairly recently, I had no trouble using Etsy in Firefox, but after the last update, I noticed that the site stopped working. I cannot click on any links, even the one that would allow me to log in. I originally thought the issue might be that I have OS X 10.5.8 on my computer, so the newest upgrade is not compatible, but I use a computer with Windows 7 at work and am having the same problem. Etsy works fine in both Explorer (at work) and in Safari (at home).

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    (WIN) Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.<br>
    (MAC) Use Command+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    (You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    (WIN) orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced<br>
    (MAC) Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
    (WIN) right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"<br>
    (ANY) Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    If that doesn't make any difference, perhaps an add-on is at fault? A standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
    If the site works correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
    Any change?

  • Drop down menus on certain websites (ie ESPN) are no longer working on Firefox but work with both Chrome and IE on same computer so I believe its Firefox issue.

    I tried updating Firefox to 19 and then even the Beta 20 version. I have rebooted computer countless times. On the same computer, I can open IE and bring up ESPN and the drop down menus work fine so I know its not a computer issue and it must have something to do Firefox. I tried the "starting in safe mode" and disabling add ons because I saw those suggestions but that didnt work. I also tried unchecking the box about hardware acceleration because I saw that suggested also and needless to say that didnt work either. Can someone please please help me, its very frustrating.

    The menu on the ESPN site is generated via JavaScript, so make sure that you aren't blocking JavaScript if the menus aren't working.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

  • Imgur pictures do not load in firefox, but work fine in IE.

    Embedded images in forums hosted in imgur (e.g. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/oBNUb.jpg[/IMG] )won't load when using firefox.
    This does not happen when using IE.
    Also, the images load properly when I paste the image's url in the adress bar (e.g. http://i.imgur.com/z1oHH.jpg ).
    When clicking on a link to a imgur page (e.g. http://imgur.com/uIPsM ) the whole page will load, except for the image.
    I have disabled all firewalls and antivirus software, it still doesn't work. I also deleted cache&cookies, fooled around with some connection settings and rebooted. Still no success. What bothers me is that imgur works perfectly fine with IE.

    Upgraded to ff4 , no video but sound and chat are ok on justin.tv. Ended up downgrading back to 3.6 and voilla, all is well again!!!

  • Website not displaying in Firefox. Works fine in IE 10 & Chrome. Windows 8/x64

    Using Firefox 21.0 on Windows 8/x64. I am experiencing some sites where Firefox displays an odd looking graphic but none of the UI that displays in Chrome or IE 10. I can re-create it for example by going to http://www.basspay.com. I'm stumped. I removed all plugins/add-ons. Started in safe mode. Deleted everything in history - all to no avail. Any pointers on where I might start to even look? It's almost the same response one would expect if javascript was disabled and there was no "noscript" fallback. Except javascript is enabled and this is a stock installation of Firefox without a single setting or config change.

    going off of what philipp said here is what you get in the page inspector, it is a backward slash, when fixed it looks like the second picture

  • WHY is my Smart Swipe device not compatible in Firefox but works fine in Explorer ?

    FIREFOX says SMART SWIPE CREDIT CARD DEVICE isn't compatible in firefox

    Hey TURTLE357,
    I am sorry to hear this and I can imagine that this is very frustrating. However, since the add on is not compatible the listed options are [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/unable-install-add-ons-or-extensions#w_add-on-is-not-compatible here]
    You may need to use the older version of Firefox that the add on is compatible with to use the Smart Swipe. I understand that you have already contacted Smart Swipe, do they know that it is not compatible with the current version of Firefox?

  • Videos on youtube and vimeo are shaking in firefox but working fine in chrome

    Hi ,
    Videos on youtube and vimeo are flickering and shaky in firefox. But they are playing well in chrome. Also reinstalled firefox,
    still didnt work. Even the adobe flash plugin is "up to date".

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    #Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
    #* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
    #* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    #In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
    #In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    #Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

    I suppose it would have helped if you knew what it was supposed to look like!   I'm using Shockwave Flash 11.7.700.169  and the version of Firefox I'm on is 20.0
    When you see it in Firefox  - do the thumbnail populate the grid?  See attached populated and un-populated.

    The enter key is not working in firefox but it has working fine in chrome and IE so please help me to rid out from this.

    Hello gokulaan, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • I have a Mac running 10.9.2. My wireless mouse with not scroll in mail but works fine in other applications? Any suggestions?

    I have a Mac running 10.9.2. My apple wireless mouse will not scroll in Mail but works fine in other applications.
    Any suggestions?

    First, see this discussion. If the solution suggested there doesn't work for you, continue.
    If you've installed a Mail plugin called "Mail Unread Menu" and you know how to remove it, please do that, then quit and relaunch Mail. Test. Otherwise, see below.
    Back up all data.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:  
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select 
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
    2. Repeat with this line:
    /Library/Mail/Bundles
    This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
