Flashvars not loading in recent versions of Firefox on PC??

I have a video player (just an out of the box flvplayer) where I pass in the video files using flashvars. I'm using swfobject to load the swf and pass in the video file. All standard code, nothing fancy or custom. This works perfectly in all browsers on both mac and pc... except recent versions of Firefox on the PC. On recent FF/PC machines the player loads but the video doesn't.
Anyone else have this problem? Better yet, is there a fix for it?

Yep, fp is: WIN 10,1,53,64.
There does seem like perhaps there is a FF issue: https://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?locale=en-US&comments_parentId=7154 72&comments_offset=20&comments_per_page=20&forumId=1, but this doesn't really help me because my video player DOES work in Firefox 3.6.6, it's 3.6.8 that doesn't work.
Anyone have any ideas?

  • I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    Firefox 6.0 is the current version.
    Get what denoted in what properties link.
    You can get the version number in Help -> About Firefox,
    and in '''about:support''' typed into the Location bar, and you can use JavaScript to list the user agent -- javascript:navigator.userAgent
    I'm not aware of any version of Firefox from Fx 2 on up to Fx 6 where "AVG Safe" is not a problem. Crashes aren't the only failures caused.

    1 - do not put your iPhoto library on the same volume as the time machine backup - TM continues to grow its backup until it fills that volume at which point you will not be able to use the iPhoto library (which may be your problem now) - and you have no backup since TM can not back up anyting that is on its backup volume - and it if cound when the drive fails which it will someday you would lose everything anyway - you must have a second external hard drive right away
    2 - How much free disk space do you have on your main drive?

  • My "search" bar is not responding. It's a new problem, since I uploaded the most recent version of Firefox.

    Recently downloaded the most recent version of Firefox. I then attempted to use the "search" function. I can type the subject into the search bar space, but when "search" is clicked, there's no response.
    Thanks!
    Don

    Thanks, folks! The "reset" fixed the problem.

  • How can i open a TEXTPAD LINK in recent versions of firefox in a P R I V A T E window?

    No matter what i've tried in recent versions of firefox, i can ONLY open a textpad link in a private window with OLD VERSIONS of firefox, where a private window REPLACES non private window(s) !
    In later versions, private mode opens an ADDITIONAL window that is private, but the non private window(s) remain too.
    So when I right click on a link in Textpad to open it, it ALWAYS opens the link in the latest NON private window!!! Even if I get rid of the non private windows!
    I have tried Palemoon Browser(an optimized clone of Firefox) & no difference, unless I use old version 19.0.2 of that browser.
    If there was a way in the registry(via an addon or manual change) to make the latest vers of FF beHAVE like the much older version when going into private mode, that might be a quick fix.
    Have I stumped everyone? lol

    Well... even though there is a command-line option to open a new private window, there is no way to feed a URL to that window externally. Firefox will always open the URL in a new non-private window. It's not clear why it was set up this way.

  • I can't uninstall Firefox version 11 from my MAC, nor can I upgrade to a more recent version of Firefox.

    I believe that I have a corrupted version of Firefox. I have followed the procedures both for removal and for upgrade that are posted in the support forums, and neither are effective for me.
    I do not have a conventional Firefox icon on my screen, rather I have a grey question mark. When I attempt to deposit that question mark icon in my wastebasket, it just bounces back out.
    When I have tried to upgrade to a more recent version of Firefox (and I've been trying to upgrade with each new iteration of Firefox from version 12 to the current version 32), I receive an error message that I can run only one version of Firefox, and the upgraded version is rejected in favor of version 11.
    Additionally, Firefox version 11 blocks me from adding any other programs onto my Mac. I want to get rid of version 11. How can I do it?

    Dear ideato--Thank you for your suggestion. While I was able to drag a shadow of the Firefox icon from the applications folder to the dock and drop it into the wastebasket, the icon remains in the applications folder and Firefox version 11 is still on my computer blocking every attempt to add a program or to upgrade to the current version of Firefox. The question mark is still on the dock, too. Regards--DavidK126

  • Why is Hotmail Calendar not working with latest version of Firefox

    I was prompted to load the 'latest' version of Firefox this morning, which I duly did. Since then my Hotmail account has worked fine for send and receive but I cannot access my calendar. Screen simply says "loading...." and never actually loads.
    I have shut my lap top down fully and rebooted but the situation remains the same.
    I have 2 Hotmail accounts and this problem is the same for both. Please could you advise.

    iSight is the camera.  I expect you mean that Skype will not recognize the camera.
    (1) Did you restart Mac and try again?
    (2) Did you use Disk Utility to repair permissions before and after installing Skype?
    (3) Because Skype is your only problem app, have you checked Skype support such as
       https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10931/   and
       https://support.skype.com/en-us/category/VIDEO/
    There are Skype-specific tips there that may help you.
    Do NOT add any drivers.  All needed iSight driver software is included in your OS X 10.6.8
    You can also search Skype's dedicated forum for Mac http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/bd-p/Mac
    (4) Your first download or install may have been faulty.  If you have not already done so, try downloading the latest Skype version again and reinstalling? Remember to repair permissions before and after the reinstall.

  • I just downloaded to the most recent version of Firefox, and lost my Delicious bookmarks. How can I retrieve them?

    I just downloaded the most recent version of Firefox, and my Delicious bookmarks have disappeared. How can I retrieve them?

    First, are you positive it is really not there?  Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
    If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup.  Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Where can i get the most recent version of firefox?

    Sorry that this isn't posted in the correct category but i was unable to find a category that suited my question:
    Hi, i was just wondering what the most recent version of firefox is? How can i get it? What are the download and use requirements? And what are the advantages of using the newest version instead of the old ones?
    Again, sorry for putting this in the wrong category, cheers.

    You are on the current version of Firefox which is 6.0.2, you can verify
    * Help ("Alt+H") > About, this is also where you can check for Firefox update
    * Tools ("Alt+T") > Troubleshooting Information... > look for version<br>(or use '''about:support''' from Location Bar)
    Where to get the latest version is at
    * http://www.mozilla.com green button to download if not up to date
    * http://www.mozilla.org green button to download does not check if you are up to date.
    ''Your "More system details..." in the right-hand column tells us you are at Firefox 6.0.2''

  • I get, You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web! When I go to the update site it tells me that I have the latest version.

    I start the Firefox browser.
    When the start page displays I get just below the Google search box:
    You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!
    Not unusual but when I go to the update site it searches for a minute and then tells me that I have the current version of the software.

    If you use the www.google.com/firefox site as home page that previous Firefox 3 versions use as the home page then you can ignore the message about not using the latest Firefox version on that page.<br />
    Google no longer seems to maintain that page.<br />
    Current Firefox 4+ versions no longer use that Google website as the home page, but use the build-in about:home page as the home page.<br />
    Google assumes that you use an older Firefox version if you still visit that site and warns you that you use an older Firefox version and suggests to update.<br />
    You can use another page as the home page like about:home or www.google.com or www.google.com/ig (iGoogle).<br />

  • I have updated Firefox to 8.0.1 but the main screen still says " You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!" What is the problem?

    I downloaded Firefox Setup 8.0.1.exe from the website to my desktop and opened it as an administrator. The available choice (once opened) was to upgrade. When the process was complete my version of Firefox was identified as 8.0.1 but the main screen still said - "You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!"

    This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained.
    Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.

    I need to know how to delete the most recent version of Firefox. I JUST downloaded it tonight and my computer doesn't have that little edit bar to work with so I can download the proper Adobe player and my internet has been screwed up ever since I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I just want the old version of it back since I apparently can't download the Adobe stuff that is necessary to keep my computer safe from Hackers. It sure would have been nice to know there was an issue with the new Firefox Update BEFORE I uploaded it. I have Vista which is usually an issue with both Adobe and Firefox. I don't seem to be able to run much of Adobe at all on my computer because of the Vista.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I have also noticed all my settings won't stay set, example....I removed the check mark from "third party cookies", the when I close Firefox and reopen the check mark is back, also my tool bar has screwed up....can't reset, been having trouble the up grade.

  • I can not download the new version of Firefox. I keep getting a message that says "Firefox 5.0.1dmg could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred" HOW do I fix this?

    Every time I try to download the new version it just says I can not download the new version of Firefox. I keep getting a message that says "Firefox 5.0.1dmg could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred - Try saving to disk first and then opening the file"

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • I have Firefox 8.0.1 on my Windows XP PC. On my Firefox opening page I still get a warning that I do not have the latest version of Firefox. Which is the latest version for me and from where do I download it?

    On the opening page of Firefox, I am constantly reminded (and sometimes warned) that I do not have the latest version of Firefox. Yet, when I click for upgrade, I start getting a download of the same version 8.0.1 which I am already running.

    This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained.

  • Why can I not use my Norton Toolbar... It is a very important item... If I can not run norton toolbar, then I do not want the new version of firefox.... How do I go back to my old version..

    Question
    Why can I not use my Norton Toolbar... It is a very important item... If I can not run norton toolbar, then I do not want the new version of firefox.... How do I go back to my old version..

    Norton has had over 5 months to work in their Firefox extensions, since the API's were locked for 4.0. Ask Norton why they pull this crap every time Mozilla releases a new version of Firefox. When Firefox 3.6 was released mid-January 2010, it took Norton until almost April to come up with a working version of their Firefox extensions.
