Flash resets in Firefox with javascript's style.display

We have a javascript code that uses "style.display" to
hide/unhide different section. But when using to this unhide, if
any flash content was there (already run, either litttle bit or
fully), it resets back to the initial position.
In IE, it works fine.
Even though flash works fine in firefox with
style.visibility, due to various other issues, we cannot use this.
Anyone can suggest how we can stop flash getting 'reset' when
hiding/unhiding the section using "style.display"?
Thanks,
karl

...tried that, made no difference!
(only the top one had spaces initially)
One thing though, sticking the swf link alone in the address bar works okay in Firefox!! ... but still showing blank white space in the full HTML doc??
(even IE with compatibility mode switched "off" throws it to the right!!)
Coding for cross browser compatibility ... OH JOY!!!!
Kind Regards,
Cal

Flash movie inside page with Javascript ?

I have a client who is looking for the same effect for his
homepage. After looking at the page source of the example
Link is here
It looks like the page was done with javascript. Can someone
point me in the right direction?
rdee

Hello,
It looks like the entire page is in Flash. I would suggest
using Jquery which is a javascript plugin that can achieve similar
results. One really good example is Galleria:

http://jquery.com/
Also, js doesnt slow down the server like Flash and is also
search engine friendly. Good luck!

Launch Firefox with double-clicked file displayed?

System: Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger), Firefox 3.6.15
Used to be that double-clicking an html file icon in Finder or dragging the file icon onto Firefox in the Dock would always launch Firefox with that file displayed in the browser. But in recent versions Firefox now always launches with a blank page or home page (depending on preferences). How can I restore the old behavior?

You are not going to like this answer but it is the only one.
You are asking an end user how-to question. The question and solution are not about scripting. They are about how to use a fundamental feature of Windows. In Windows file extensions are associated with a default program. To set that you
only need to right click the file and select the program that runs it while choosing to set it as the default program.
This and other issues of how to set up Windows programs can be answered in the forum for your OS.
Just writing or finding a script that seems to do what you want does not mean you have to correct solution. YOU have to start by asking the correct question in the correct forum.
Good luck.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Adobe Flash Update infected Firefox with tons of viruses. Help!

I got with one of those annoying fake Adobe Flash Updates, and unfortunately fell for it and installed it, which has infected Firefox (and Chrome, and IE, for that matter) with tons of viruses that I CANNOT get rid of. I'm on a Windows 7 PC.
Basically, what they do:
- Adds "Enhanced Text" everywhere (text is underlined and leads to an ad)
- Adds unwanted banners on sites
- Frequent pop-ups
- Redirects my searches (Google is essentially unusable)
- Can't log-in to certain sites (eBay)
The last two are really killing me and making the internet very hard to enjoy. I've run Malwarebytes several times (first a quick scan, then a full scan), as well as TDSSKiller. Both detected malware and deleted them, but nothing changed. As per the internet's advice, I've tried disabling all my extensions/plug-ins, but doing that didn't help either - many reference specific extensions that cause these problems, like "CCodec" or "ghostery" but nothing like that appears in my add-ons menu. I went into Programs and Features and uninstalled anything suspicious-looking (which somehow lead to half that list disappearing? All my programs are still there, but for whatever reason that list shortened significantly), and still nothing.
I'm really at a loss here. None of my browsers are working properly and nothing I do seems to help.

Looks like you need to be locked and loaded for a virus to come, or just avoid it.
Can you try those scans in safe mode? Safe mode likely will prevent the malware from running at all during the safe mode session.

How Update Flash Player for Firefox Without Running Firefox?

I have had a problem with Firefox freezing when I try to do just about anything other than simple browsing for at least two years. Updates don't help nor disabling all add-ons, nor reinstalling, etc. Nobody can figure out how to fix it so I use it as-is. I would like to update the Adobe Flash Player add-on but Firefox freezes every time I try. Is there a way to update the Flash Player in Firefox with actually running Firefox?
Thanks
Running XP SP3 and latest Firefox.
Also running IE8 using the latest Flash Player.

That worked, thanks so much. Now all I have to do is figure out where I can find similar files for all the other plugins that are outdated, Acrobat, Java, DivX, etc.
Thanks again.

When i use firefox with mafia wars none of the pictures display - i think i hit a hide picture button?

using mafia wars, it does not show any of the pictures only the words so it makes it difficult to know where to click. mafia works fine when i open in chrome - so it is something i did while using firefox.

With the site on display, click on the site identity button (for details on what that is see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button]) and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)
Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.
This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Images+or+animations+do+not+show].
Some add-ons can also block images, for example if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block the images.

Flash player does not work with Ie or Firefox with win 8.1?

Flash player does not work with Ie or Firefox with win 8.1 64, If i try and play a video I get the message to install Flashplayer.
If I try and install it it says it is already installed. Your onsite installer says it is not applicable to my machine.
I have followed all the normal steps re enabling addons and active filters etc.
all to no avail Pc is Dell 6 months old, Flashplayer has never worked on this machine. Last MS update mid Dec 2014.
Version of flashplayer is 15....03.......

Flash Player is a built-in component of Internet Explorer. There's nothing separate to download or install.
Firefox requires a different version of Flash Player (the NPAPI plug-in), which will be served to you if you go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using Firefox; however, there are some unique stability issues related to Firefox on Win8.1, and you're probably better off using Google Chrome if you want a more optimal experience with Flash Player.
For problems where IE isn't being detected by sites that require Flash:
First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

Adobe Flash Player 10 works with Firefox but not with IE8???

Hi Gang: I need help, I have downloaded adobe flash player 10, enable my javascript in IE8, but when I attempt to run youtube videos, I get the error message, javascript need to be enable or you need to download a newer version of adobe flash player. I then opened Firefox instead then run the same youtube videos and everything is perfectly fine. Why can't I run youtube videos in IE8 with the adobe flash player 10? What is the fix?
Thanks

What's (likely) happening is that the HTML wrapper around the .swf isn't behaving... which causes Flash Player version detection to fail. Hit this test page at youtube - you should see an embedded movie with Flash Player version information.
http://www.youtube.com/swf_test.html
You may find success by following the instructions in this tech-note for a complete uninstall... then re-install the latest FP.

Unable to interact with Flash content when running Firefox with restricted user

When running Firefox with limited Windows user on Windows XP the Flash elements are displayed, the content that is set to auto-play does so even, but the flash area doesn't receive any mouse input: e.g. when I right click in the area instead of the flash context menu I get the browser context menu as if the flash plug-in wasn't even there. The exact same page on the exact same computer but with Administrator user works as expected: can press buttons, interact with flash controls and the context menu upon right-click is of course the flash one. This behavior occurs even if I disable all add-ons.

Try uninstalling your sound card driver in Device Manager and reboot your PC.

Flash player doesnt work with firefox no matter what i try to do.Have windows xp.It does work if i use to internet explorer.Dont know what else to do.Need help

Cant get Flashplayer to work with firefox

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash player; one for IE (ActiveX) and one for most other browsers including Firefox (Plugin). You do not appear to have Flash installed for Firefox (Plugin) on the system used to report your question (click "More system details" to the right of your original question, "Shockwave Flash" is not listed). You can check in your Firefox Add-ons > Plugins to see if "Shockwave Flash" is listed but disabled. When updating Flash on a Windows system with IE installed, you should always update both.
Download (for your OS and browsers), save, close all browsers, run the installers that you just downloaded from the following page:

Flash 11.5 bugs with Firefox

I've pulled a clean install of Flash Player 11.5 about five times, installed the latest Firefox client (17.0.1) and I can't get any videos on Youtube to play. I even did a clean wipe and installed an old 11.4 version of Flash, but the results are the same. I'm using Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1.
Oddly enough, the 11.5 version of Flash wouldn't work with Internet Exporer 9 either, but Chrome seems to handle videos just fine. What exactly is the problem here?

When you go to this page, what version of Flash Player is reported as installed?
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
When you visit YouTube, what's displayed instead of the video? If you right click on that area, does the Flash Player menu appear?
