[SOLVED] SWF files are not working in Firefox 5.0.1. When visiting websites with 'zoom' on photos Forefox asks how to handle rather than just going to zoom

On previous versions of Firefox I was able to use the 'zoom' feature on photos at retail websites. This no longer works. (You can go to Territory Ahead as an example). Firefox asks what to do with the SWF file. There is no option to use Shockwave (I think this is a Shockwave file). Thanks for your help. Warren

Ooops. Never mind. I recently upgraded other programs and I no longer had the Shockwave player installed in my system. Reinstalled it and all if well.

SWF Files do not work in Firefox. My sites work fine in Explore & Safari? Why is this? I have updated all my plugins, reinstalled yet still nothing?

Can you post a link?
Does that only happen on that website or do you have that problem with all Flash content?
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Videos are not working in Firefox

Hey everyone,
This seems to be a common problem, but videos are not working on Firefox, and not just for YouTube. I have updated Adobe Shockwave and Flash, re-installed Firefox, deleted/created a Firefox profile, started up Firefox in Safe Mode, turned off HTML5, checked if any of my plug-ins are disabled, and none of those have helped.
When I get on YouTube and click a video, the video itself doesn't even load. On other sites, in the box where the video should be playing, it says "No video with supported format and MIME content can be found." This kind of confuses me because I have updated the Adobe Flash.
Thoughts? Anything would be appreciated at this point.

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install.

Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!

We're sorry.

Npapi or webkit plugin are not working in firefox

I have a Webkit plugin and NPAPI plugin. Both work fine in Safari but just would not work in Firefox (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3) .
about:plugins shows it as installed but when I try to access it from html page none of the entry points in a code are being called.(None of trace statement are being hit)
I think Firefox has problem loading those plugins.
I have similar NPAPI plugin working fine in Windows environment on all browsers, but MAC is giving me this problem.
Does anyone has any ideas of what could be the problem?
I even took a BASICPLUGIN sample for MAC and it has the same problem. Anyb
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Christofer,
I solved my problem after not getting any responses.....
Turns out that some of my xcode compilation switches had to be changed, send me your minimal code that I can compile and i will help you finding it......My NSAPI plugin works just great with all mac browsers....in fact it is the same code excatly as i have for windows, just had to rename some files from .cpp to .m so that I could yuse some cocoa objects....

.wav files are not playing in firefox 3.6.13

I have written index.html file and coded the following and the .wav file is also in the same folder where the .html file is saved,

<body>
<bgsound src="hello.wav" loop="5">

re: "Microsoft proprietary code used by IE and will not work in Firefox." 
Why doesn't Microsoft get busy and write some plugins for other browsers? They wrote Silverlight for Firefox. Are they afraid other browsers will become more popular then IE? Or maybe that's already happened. I have a Mac Book Pro w/OSX snow leopard. It's a superior machine and OS. I tried a HP laptop w/Win 7 first. I had to return it before regurgitating. 
Addendum: Reasons for my disgust w/IE:
# If you run IEv8x w/all the "security updates" the processor is bogged down until the speed is unbearably slow. I doubt if there's one lousy compute cycle left for another task.
# Reasons for the above: all those security updates etc. are dialing home with tattle tale crap, along with all the adware, spyware, malware, and viruses you can think of that are floating around in cyberspace just waiting to infect your PC w/Windows OS.
# I have Symantec/Norton Internet Security on my Mac Book Pro. None of the above stuff has infected my Mac since I bought it 2 months ago. A welcome relief.

Swf file does not work from InDesign

I am not sure if this is a Flash or InDesign question, so i will post on both..
I am trying to embed an “animated” swf file (that was created in flash) into an InDesign layout and then export the InDesign layout to swf. in the resulting html file my navigation works ok but the swf file does not play “animate” when viewed in html or flash. It only shows up as a graphic.
I have tried exporting the ID file to xfl and bringing it into flash but then none of my animation works. What am I doing wrong?
any help would be appreciated.
thanks
mattG

You´re doing nothing wrong. SWF export of InDesign CS4 doesn´t support any media files. You can place videos, sounds and animations into indesign layout, but if you export to SWF, they won´t work in resulting SWF. They work in interactive PDF.
And you can export your basic layout to Flash CS4 by using XFL export and import those media elements in Flash, but that may be quite a job. I have been strugled a lot with that method. My files used to go really messy when I open them in Flash.

Swf files will not open in firefox

hi,
I can not get my pages where I have swf files to open in firefox. I have several pages
with sound also and they will not open. here is the code that I am using. I have probably
8 pages of flash and the rest of the pages are javascript and html.
page10 = "<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,2,0\" width=\"578\" height=\"680\" id=\"page10\" align=\"middle\"><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"sameDomain\" /><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"false\" /><param name=\"movie\" value=\"Issue007/Images/page10.swf\" /><param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" /><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" /><param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#ffffff\" /><embed src=\"Issue007/Images/page10.swf\" quality=\"high\" wmode=\"transparent\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"578\" height=\"680\" name=\"page10\" align=\"middle\" allowScriptAccess=\"sameDomain\" allowFullScreen=\"false\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\" /></object>";
page10Html = InsertDinamicDiv(10, "page10", "", 0, 0, 586, 680, "", "", "", "");
 page10Html.innerHTML = page10;
This is a magazine on the web and prior issues have loaded in firefox using the same code but not the pages with sound.
I hope someone can help. I have no problems in internet explorer. I am having problems with apple also. I figured if I got firefox working then apple would work. again in prior issues, we could see the pages in apple.
thanks,
Jennifer

you're missing the mozilla embedding code. use:

FlashPlayerTrust file is not working for firefox

Hi guys,
there are two methods of putting your swf under the localTrusted.
1. add your location to local trusted by setting in to online setting manager on macromedia site.
2. create a cfg file and put it in flash player trust directory i.e "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerTrust".
Am i right?
now my application works fine in IE by doing so but it irritate me on firefox.
if i add my swf file location in online setting manager on macromedia site then it start working but cfg file doesnt leave any effect.
really i need to achieve this by cfg file not by adding some setting in online setting manager .
any solution, suggestion??
Thanks
Shubham Goyal

worked! :)

SWF file is not working in Portal PROD System

Hi All,
We have written custom mxml script in Adobe Flex 3 which displays the list of applications stored in the DB. Then we have posted that .swf file into our Portal KM and then we have created one URL iView with the location from KM.
These days we are facing issue like the output of the script is not working means the applications are not listed on the portal prod system.
Whenever the issue arieses we are requested to upload the file once again into KM and it works after the upload been done.
We are not sure what could be the reason for this issue and I request any one to assist us to resolve this issue.
Please let me know if you need more info on this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Vijaykumar K.

Hi Vijay,
I belive this should be a portal issue, anyways let me give it a try.
I never worked on flex in SAP but did similar stuff in portal content development.
Do you have any traces in that development..?
Did you check any messages being loged in portal...?
Check if there is any issue with the file like couldn't recognise a resource from KM which is required etc.
Cheers,
Sai

Adobe Plugins are not working for Firefox or Explorer 8

HI There,
my firefox and explorer do not open adobe reader files any more. IN firefox it opens it in a different viewer and when it prints it prints the document as an artifact and the letters are not clear (almost looks like a blurry .jpg). The plug in is installed but when I go to adobe reader under preferences then internet it says that the program is not available. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling acrobat and it still does not work. I intalled the latest Java thinking that was the issue but still the same. I can not find a way to delete and reinstall the plugins in Firefox or Explorer. Are they built into the new Adobe Reader?

Can you guide me on how to change it to adobe reader as the default. I can't figure out where this option is.
I have to get access to the computer with the probloem to pull up the error message when trying to open a pdf file in Explorer. I think it says that it can`t find the program or to try shutting adobe down and try again.

The Gmail icon for attaching files does not work in Firefox

I have tried the config change for network.http.spdy.enabled to false, and quite a few other suggestions for this problem, some from years ago.
Only the attach file icon is affected. Dragging files into gmail works to attach them, just the icon is not working.
Very perplexing.

Try allowing pop up windows
Open Menu
Options
Content (on the top)
Click Exceptions...
Type mail.google.com in address of website area
Click Allow
Try to open attachment window now.
Restart FireFox and try adding attachment again.

Hyperlinks from converted excel file are not working after pdf file is moved

I have created a pdf file from an excel file that has hyperlinks in it. The hyperlinks work fine if the files are all kept in the same exact location as the time they were created. Once the files are moved (i.e. emailed to another user) the hyperlinks no longer work. An error message pops up that the file can not be found. Is there a setting or something that I'm missing in acrobat that allows for the files to be moved, so that the hyperlinks still function properly, after creation

No settings adjustments.
The issue is that links, once made, have a specific path (as shown when you view the link's text string).
When you email the files the person who recieves the email and downloads the attachments would have to have the same layout of files/folders you have.
Without that links are "broken"
You email a zip file that, when extracted, would create the folders/files in the required layout to reflect what you have.
Be well...

Image - maps are not working in Firefox but it does work in IE. Some help required.

Hey there,
Last week i've been building a website for our company. However, there is still a problem with our banner/slider. I've uploaded some images and the slider is currently working. But the image maps ,using <map> & <area> taggs, are not functional in FF. They do work in IE so I suppose it should be working correctly.
I've tried using Chrome & Safari but the problem keeps persisting.
Some help would be nice (:
Marnix.

Doesn't work in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari? 
Sounds like you're using non-compliant code.

You could try posting the URL to a test case at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine, and see what they have to say. The support helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox.
