File Upload in Firefox/Safari

I have been trying to do file upload in Flash player 9 (AS3)
using filereference and PHP server-side code. This works fine in
IE, but not in Firefox and Safari. As far a I can ascertain this is
a problem that a lot of people have - the problem seems to be that
the session id is different to the original session id when the
flash player requests a file upload.
We are getting the session id from a javascript function and
passing it into the flash app and appending that session id to the
filereference url, and then the upload PHP script gets this session
id and tries to use it, but to no avail...
I have seen other people post to this forum asking about
uploading to https, which has been going on for a long time... is
this the same problem or is this a different problem.
Testing machines/browsers done using the filereference
upload:
* Win XP:
- Flash player 9.0.115
+ IE 6 -
fine
+ IE 7 -
fine
+ Firefox 2.0.12 -
does not work (receive a fileIO error)
- Flash player 9.0.103
+ Firefox 2.0.12 -
does not work (receive a fileIO error)
- Flash player 9.0.45
+ Firefox 2.0.12 -
does not work (receive a fileIO error)
* Windows Vista:
- AS ABOVE: WIN XP
* Mac OSX:
- Flash player 9.0.115
+ Firefox 2.0.12 -
does not work (receive a fileIO error)
+ Safari 3 -
does not work (receive a fileIO error)
+ Safari 2 -
does not work (receive a fileIO error)
Please help - this is really frustrating.

Had exactly the same issue, very frustraing especially on
friday afternoon :)
my movie consists on a main swf that was loading an external
swf in a different directory which contains a form to upload a
file.
when i put them in the same directory i didn't get the I/O
error anymore.
hope that could help

How do I view an FTP site in Windows Explorer for drag and drop file upload in Firefox?

In Internet Explorer you have the drop-down menu option called '''"Page"''' (located below the address bar, on the right-hand side). In the options listed you can''''' "Open FTP side in Windows Explorer"'''''.
I cannot seem to locate a similar option within Firefox 4.0.
Guidance and suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Indesign Files Uploaded to the Cloud dont open in the web UI

Hi,
When I upload an indesign file to the cloud, the thumbnail shown is a default one & if I open the file (using the web UI) I cant view the content of the file.
I tryed to view the uploaded files using Chrome, Firefox, Safari & IE both in OSX, Windows XP, 7 & 8 (all up to date).

I have renamed the one of the files and uploaded it again:
https://creative.adobe.com/share/e97d73a5-6d70-4d84-a48a-2149622cd5a6
Now the image preview is missing:
and the pages sow up to page 21.
Also I would like to see the hole spread in the preview, and not just a single page how do I accomplish that?
I Have also uploaded it to the following dropbox link so you will be able to observe the original file:

*there are no missing links and if you like I will send you a package of the specific wedding album.

How to 'clear' file upload field in forms

In a form I am designing I need a 'clear' or 'reset' button that clears the entire form. This is easy to do, of course, but alas my form has a file upload field, and in Safari I just can't get that field to go back to it's default empty state.
is there a secret way to force file upload fields in safari to reset, or is it just impossible?

I've just done a quick search on bugzilla and came up with this http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8248.

Large File Upload ~50mb Fails using Firefox/Safari. Upload Limit is 1gig set at Web App. IIS timeout set at 120 seconds.

Strange issue. User can upload the file using IE9, but cannot do the same using Safari, Chrome, or FireFox. The library resides in a Site Collection that was migrated from a 2010 Site Collection. The timeout on IIS is 120 seconds.Very strange
indeed.
Haven't been able to trace the Correlation ID at this point.

try using rest api for this much file upload if you are using custom solution.
try below links for reference:

Safari needs to click submit button twice when file uploading

Hi all,
I'm using Safari 4.0.5 and developing the html (no AJAX, but plain PHP posting) form with the file uploading on my local environment. I tested it fast and thick several times, then suddenly Safari stopped to upload the jpeg file, indicating loading animation on the address bar. So I tried to click the submit button once again, I succeed in sending two posts including one jpeg image.
There's no problem with other browsers like Firefox and Chrome. Additionally, I tried to reinstalled Safari, rebooted Snow Leopard and checked file's permissions by Disk Utility app, but no dice.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I am having the exact same problem except that I'm in Safari 5.0. Did you ever come to any resolution on the problem?
I am having trouble uploading certain jpegs (can't find a common thread between the images that won't work though they tend to be larger than 100k and larger than 800px wide). When I have the problem the progress bar just hangs at about 10%. The page never times out. Never throws any kind of error. I confirmed that the file is never making it to the application layer. Such a weird and intermittent problem. All other browsers are fine. Just Safari is a problem. Even with these images that are giving me a problem, sometimes they work - especially after restarting the browser.
Any help or insight from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

File uploads using jQuery with jquery.fileupload.js fails in Firefox over SSL

Please see the link below where I originally posted the question.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27792614/file-uploads-using-jquery-with-jquery-fileupload-js-fails-in-firefox-over-ssl

Thanks. In my estimation that is exactly the issue. But that doesn't help with a resolution.
The actual file size: 945,991 bytes
If Firefox is miscalculating the length (in Safari/Chrome 945991 and 946241 in Firefox), then Firefox is reporting erroneously and should be raised as a bug in Firefox, would you agree?

Are you using a BT Home Hub with the IP Phone attached. This holds onto the SIP port that iChat uses. There is no way to get the router to release this port.
I had to return it all to BT as unfit for purpose and switched to Eclipse!

I use iMac desktop. I can't save web pages as PDF file by using Firefox, but by Safari is fine.

I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.4. Today, I tried to save my email content as a PDF file. However, I only got a PDF file that have partial content of email. Then I adjust the printer setting and did it again, then I only got a blank PDF file. There was nothing inside. Then I tried to save email as a PDF file by using Safari browser. And I got a complete and sucessful PDF file. I usually save web pages or web mail, online receipt as PDF file by use Firefox. But since I have updated to the new version, there were many problems with my Firefox. I tried to restore all my application and made Firefox in the old 3.6.3 version which I used to have no problem. But now still not working.

I solved it for myself: it was my HP smart-web printer crap that was a plug in and add on for firefox that somehow automatically got installed when I upgraded to 5. I disabled both in the add-ons manager, and voila, printing is working.
It seems there are many things, like this and the Google toolbar, that were screwed by the oddly fast update to 5. Looks like Mozilla didn't give anybody any notice! Must've been some really bad security hole.

hello jlzibell, please go through the troubleshooting steps described at [[Websites say cookies are blocked - Unblock them]].

How can I make Firefox 4's "File Upload" window start in the same directory across all sites?

I upload webcomic image files to multiple sites every day--the same file to multiple sites--through the "File Upload" window that comes up in Firefox when you click on a site's "Browse..." file request field.
In Firefox 3 (under Windows XP), when I used Firefox's "File Upload" window to upload files, the "File Upload" window would come up showing the last directory from which I'd uploaded anything to ANY site.
In Firefox 4, on the other hand, the "File Upload" window comes up showing the last directory from which I last uploaded to that specific domain.
I'd like to know if there's an about:config setting--I couldn't find one when searching for "file," "upload," or "dir"--to revert to the Firefox 3 behavior. The reason is that now in Firefox 4, because I typically upload two files to four different web sites per day--one file to all four sites, then later in the day, a second file to all four sites--I have to switch from the first upload directory to the second upload directory in each of the four "File Upload" windows for the second file, whereas in Firefox 3 I only had to do that once. Here's how it used to go:
In Firefox 3:
# "File Upload" for file 1 at smbhax.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different location than file 2 from the previous day.
# "File Upload" for file 1 at drunkduck.com: desired local directory is already selected.
# "File Upload" for file 1 at smackjeeves.com: desired local directory is already selected.
# "File Upload" for file 1 at comicfury.com: desired local directory is already selected.
# "File Upload" for file 2 at smbhax.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different directory than file 1.
# "File Upload" for file 2 at drunkduck.com: desired local directory is already selected.
# "File Upload" for file 2 at smackjeeves.com: desired local directory is already selected.
# "File Upload" for file 2 at comicfury.com: desired local directory is already selected.
and here's how it goes under Firefox 4:
# "File Upload" for file 1 at smbhax.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different location than file 2 from the previous day.
# "File Upload" for file 1 at drunkduck.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different location than file 2 from the previous day.
# "File Upload" for file 1 at smackjeeves.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different location than file 2 from the previous day.
# "File Upload" for file 1 at comicfury.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different location than file 2 from the previous day.
# "File Upload" for file 2 at smbhax.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different directory than file 1.
# "File Upload" for file 2 at drunkduck.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different directory than file 1.
# "File Upload" for file 2 at smackjeeves.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different directory than file 1.
# "File Upload" for file 2 at comicfury.com: have to browse to the local directory where the file is located, since it's a different directory than file 1.
So basically, where under Firefox 3 I only had to browse through my directories twice per day to upload two files to four sites, under Firefox 4, I have to browse through my directories eight times per day to accomplish the same thing.

You can use the Remember Password bookmarklet: <br />
https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password <br /> ''Has worked for me when I have needed it to save a password on a web site that used autocomplete=off.'' As far as the Bug that '''cor-el''' linked, I can't remember ever running across a website that did it like that.
Or, you can use the Saved Password Editor extension, which includes a means of manually adding Username/Passwords to Firefox. <br />

Hello JF.
I don't think that extension is supported. I believe Firefox can only read .json and .html.

Cmd+v doesn't paste in the file upload dialogue's search field in Safari

In Safari 4.0.4 on OS X 10.6.2, cmd+v doesn't paste in the file upload dialogue's search field in Safari. It just makes an audio beep to indicate an error.
Using a sample file uploader:
1.) Visit http://upload.youtube.com/myvideosupload
2.) Click the "Upload Video" button.
3.) Select file(s) to upload to s.ytimg.com
4.) Click on the search text field
*5.) Cmd+V to paste text. Nothing happens.*
However, if you right-click, "Paste" is not grayed out, and you can paste normally.
This is for version 4.0.4, but this behavior has been present for as long as I can remember using Safari.
Can anyone confirm this bug?

HI,
I can't confirm a bug but you can report it.
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Report Bugs to Apple.

Javascript multiple file upload with progressbar does not work in firefox, please help

I want to upload files using this javascript snipped as well as processing non file fields on the same form. This works beautiful in IE11, Chrome and Opera, but not in firefox (version 34).
I fired the non file handler with the action attribute on the <form> like this:
<form id="upload_form" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST" action="nonFile.php">
and the javascript with:
<input name="submit" type="submit" style="background: green" value="Submit" onclick="return uploadFiles()"/>
When I change type="button" the file uploads work in FF but the I have no control over the non file fileds.
Can someone gives me an indication of what is wrong?
oXHR.upload.addEventListener("progress", function(e){
var percent=(e.loaded/e.total) * 100;
_(idProg).value = Math.round(percent);
_(idstat).innerHTML = filename.name + " "+Math.round(percent)+"% --- Please Wait";
}, false);
// Upload finish, show the size of the file in Bytes, KBytes or MBytes
oXHR.onreadystatechange = function(){
if (oXHR.readyState == 4 && oXHR.status == 200){
var iBytesTransfered = bytesToSize(filesize);
_(idstat).innerHTML = filename.name + " Size: " + iBytesTransfered + " "+100+"%";
_(idProg).value = 100;
// Upload failed
oXHR.addEventListener("error", function(e){
_(idstat).innerHTML = "Upload Failed";
}, false);
// Upload aborted
oXHR.addEventListener("abort", function(e){
