Flex 2 Accessibility and Mozilla browsers?

I found an article dated back to 2005 that mentioned this:
This works fine as long as the browser itself works with this
technology. The Flex blurb on accessibility mentions that Flex
provides components which "out of the box" use MSAA, but doesn't
mention the problem, which is... that the Netscape plug-in model
doesn't talk to MSAA properly, so if you've got a Flash/Flex movie
running in any Netscape-powered browsers (ie. Mozilla, among
others) it won't be able to communicate the accessibility info to
the OS."
Was this fixed in Flex 2?

I've been working on this myself, and to my knowledge the
answer is "no". Specifically, only the ActiveX Flash Player works
with MSAA, not the Netscape-based plugin. I've actually been
looking at this in terms of functional test automation rather than
accessibility per se, so there may be other options.

When cross browser testing, make sure you have text size set to 100% (Ctrl+0) in all browsers.

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device (iPhone) using debug build. When running with a release build, the result handler is never called (nor is the fault handler called). Viewing the BlazeDS logs in debug mode, the call is received and send back with data. I've narrowed it down to what seems to be a data size issue.
I have targeted one specific data call that returns in the String value a string length of 44kb, which fails in the release build (result or fault handler never called), but the result handler is called as expected in debug build. When I do not populate the String value (in server side Java code) on the object (just set it empty string), the result handler is then called, and the object is returned (release build).
The custom object being returned in the call is a very a simple object, with getters/setters for simple types boolean, int, String, and one org.23c.dom.Document type. This same object type is used on other other RemoteObject calls (different data) and works fine (release and debug builds). I originally was returning as a Document, but, just to make sure this wasn't the problem, changed the value to be returned to a String, just to rule out XML/Dom issues in serialization.
I don't understand 1) why the release build vs. debug build behavior is different for a RemoteObject call, 2) why the calls work in debug build when sending over a somewhat large (but, not unreasonable) amount of data in a String object, but not in release build.
I have't tried to find out exactly where the failure point in size is, but, not sure that's even relevant, since 44kb isn't an unreasonable size to expect.
By turning on the Debug mode in BlazeDS, I can see the object and it's attributes being serialized and everything looks good there. The calls are received and processed appropriately in BlazeDS for both debug and release build testing.
Anyone have an idea on other things to try to debug/resolve this?
Platform testing is BlazeDS 4, Flashbuilder 4.7, Websphere 8 server, iPhone (iOS 7.1.2). Tried using multiple Flex SDK's 4.12 to the latest 4.13, with no change in behavior.
Thanks!

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

Firefox cant open my router's webpage management access while IE and other browsers can, please fix

firefox cannot open the subdirectories of my router's webpage control access. IE and other browsers like chrome, opera can. please fix thx
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after I updated to the latest 2 updates

Here is a screenshot

Beta versions and other browsers are currently not supported by an application I use everyday, what do I need to do?

When logging in to an application I get this message:
You are attempting to access ezLaborManager with the following unsupported browser:
Firefox Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0.2
ezLaborManager is only supported on current production versions of Internet Explorer and Firefox. "Beta" versions and other browsers are currently not supported.
It is strongly recommended that you use a supported browser to avoid encountering access and display issues.
WHAT VERSION OF FIREFOX SHOULD I USE?

Well, you can waste a lot of time and money trying to get your old iron up to speed but the sad fact is, even though it may work with Color, it will most likely end in a less than satisfactory experience all around. You need to determine if your G5 has PCI, PCI-x or PCIe slots and then purchase the appropriate cards.
However, Final Cut Studio 2 is optimized for the Intel processors. You will see users here and there using the newest models G5 with great success but quite honestly, you need a Mac Pro.
Or just purchase the Aja IO/HD which is a firewire 800 interface and the only firewire device that will preview externally Color.

Why can't I access my mozilla support account

I had trouble the other day accessing my mozilla support account. I was able to sign in which at the top of the page brought up my username and listed the available options (for example, inbox, profile, settings, etc.) but the page otherwise included the following message: "An Error Occurred
Oh, no! It looks like an unexpected error occurred. We've already notified the site administrators. Please try again now, or in a few minutes." I was caught in this endless loop of signing in, getting the same error message, and unable to access my account or post a new question. This happened whether I used IE or Firefox and after clearing cookies, etc. and resetting browser.
I was able to create a new account with a new username and new email but after posting my question the same phenomena occured which prohibited me from further accessing that new account.
Accordingly, I have now set up this third account in order to see if the problem can be resolved. The username for those first two accounts at issue is inquiringmind and FirefoxQuery79. After posting this question I don't know if I will be able to get back into this account to answer any followup questions so I hope I have provided enough info.
Any insight is appreciated. Thanks.

At least this account seems to be working as you have posted on the forum.
I can find the accounts

Adobe Interactive Forms with Browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to implement HCM P&F using Adobe Interactive Forms. These Adobe Forms will be accessed using Browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox. I have come across that the Adobe Interactive Forms are not supported on these browsers. In the same regard I have also gone through the Product Availability Matrix by SAP which specifies that Forms are not support on these browser and neither SAP has future plans to support them.
PAM can be found on link: http://service.sap.com/pam
I would like to know from experts that if any of the project has successfully implemented Adobe Interactive Forms with browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox or
is there any solution which can make these forms work successfully on browser Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox.
Your early reply will be highly appreciated.
thanks
Manoj

Hello,
Mozilla Firefox is supported for Adobe Interactive Forms on Windows operation system.
Unfortunatelly we do not have support for Mac OS and Safari browser.
Please re-check the PAM.
Best regards,
Dezso

I changed laptops and went from Vista to Windows 8. It requires icloud. I did icloud setup but it will not allow me access and wants to give me a new password. That is OK but it will not send me the promised password

This has been posted for almost 2 weeks and not one reply. Thanks a bunch! As a newbie to OOo and Mozilla, I am not impressed with responsiveness to support needs with either. So, the future of my new experiment with going non-Microsoft remains an open question.
Oddly enough, the problem mysteriously went away. I have followed the same routine and changed no settings. Suddenly all of the downloaded spreadsheets were no longer read-only. So I consider the matter resolved.

I have IE and Mozilla FF loaded on my vista run laptop. I have removed and reloaded the FF program without success. Internet Exployer runs fine. Help!!!!!!

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

"View Source" problem in IE and Mozilla

I'm parsing a HTML data source using JAVA.
I do "View Source" of the page in both IE and Mozilla.
#1 below is from IE and #2 is from Mozilla.
1. <p><div class = "sub1"> <a name="..."></a>...</div></p>2. <p><div class =" sub1"> <a name="..."></a>...</div></p>Notice the spaces in the <div> tag. The spaces in IE and Mozilla are different. Could somebody please advise about this?
Thanks in advance for the help.

The two browsers use different programs to display the text of the source. IE usually takes the windows default and uses Notepad, whereas Firefox uses its own program. They are going to format it differently.
My approach would be to use the Notepad version and have notepad save it to disk. Only your own program can tell for sure what is really in the file, without notepad introducing display artifacts (like extra newline to do word wraps).

Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2_03 under Mandrake/Linux and Mozilla

I'm having problems getting applets to load/run using Mandrake/Linux 9.2 and Mozilla 1.6. Apparently the classes are failing to load.
about:plugins in Mozilla shows that it has the Java plugin loaded, but when I try to test it using one of the sample applets at http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.4/demo/applets/Clock/example1.html, I get the errors shown below in the Java Console.
I have a link in my plugins directory linking to:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 tim tim 67 Jan 17 22:33 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so*
I PRESUME I've got some sort of configuration error, but I'm unsure where to begin to look - any help will be greatly appreciated!

To determine if your browser can view applets, try
viewing the "Cubic" applet on the following page..
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/display/Cubi
.html
You will notice that you can manipulate the pattern of
the applet by dragging the colored squares. Thanks for the pointer - it does, indeed, work as expected.
It's a bummer that the "sample applets" are screwy, as that seems like a good place to go to confirm that you have everything configured right (well, it DID seem like a good place to go - it seems quite a bit less good now).
Thanks for the help,
Tim

I have OS X I think. In any case I installed an updated firefox and my OS itself isn't updated enought to run it. So can I either somehow downgrade to the old firefox or at least somehow access and export my bookmarks?

Swarnava, the OP is using a Mac, not Windows.
@Jubjub, based on your More system details... on right of your post you have a Intel Mac OS X 10.4.11
The last version that will work on your OS version is Firefox 3.6.* as the current 3.6.24 can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Do i use Air or Flex for iPhone and Android app development

Hi guys, whats the main difference between the 2 and does Air or Flex have everything Xcode does for iPhone/iPad development
I'm hearing that Flex has Android and SDK for iPhone, if this is the case why learn Xcode ?
Thanks

Titanium is good for iOS, but apparently not so good for Android. Moreover, it's not so cheap!
When one chooses a platform, one should also take into consideration the history and stability of the company which offers it.
That is why I would not go to Appcelerator: who knows what's behind the corner?
Sure, it is ironic that I say this after Adobe - a big company - has abandonded Flex...
Some alternatives:
- AMPChroma (Horrible name, but it has a solid company selling it: Antenna Software). This thing has the advantage that the content is not either native or web: the same content can be packaged for a web site AND for an app
     Pro's: Many big players are using it
     Con's: price list not very clear
- Adobe Edge "Preview" + Adobe PhoneGap <--- Adobe says: you create animation for the web, you package it for an app. Not many people have tried it. But apparently it will work.
     Pro's: apparently, Edge is Adobe's instrument to finally go to HTML5.
     Con's: Edge "showcase" performs BADLY and SLOWLY in an iPhone (go think of a Samsung Mini)
- Adobe Flash professional CS6 + Create JS <--- you create animations in Flash, then you export to HTML5 and js for browsers which don't have flash. You can also package with AIR for iOS and Droid.
     Pro's: Flash professional is easy, Action Script is powerful. You can have BOTH the power of Flash and the portability of html5/JS.
     Con's: for how long will Adobe support this Create JS hack? When will Adobe say "OK, now you've done enough automatic porting to JS, from next release on you move to Edge, or to - wait for it - a version of Flash which uses Javascript instead than ActionScript?"
Me, I don't know what to do. I am keen on FlashBuilder/Flex because it's fast to build. Apps are really compatible both with iOS and Android. It has Salesforce.com connectivity. It's cool.
However, there are two problems that get me stuck from continuing with FlashBuilder:
- OK for native apps but... how do I use the Flash Builder/Flex content for the mobile WEB? Flash Builder does not have the CreateJS capability. I do a cool interface and I cannot reuse it on the mobile web if not with apps?
- OK for HTML5 but... it's NOT as good as Flash now. Have you ever seen a Phonegap application with graphics? They're embarassing. Slow, imprecise. And non-compiled Edge stuff is not much better. Is it? any good example.
Bottom line: at the moment, HTML5 support does not seem good. On the other hand, Flex is NOT compatible with mobile web. What IS performing and promises to be compatible with mobile web in addition to native apps?
Flash Professional CS6.
Again.
I am happy if some-one belies me with good arguments.
