Strange bug in Flashplayer for Firefox on Windows

Hello All,
First, I'm not sure that it's the right forum, as suspect the
bug to be in the flash player implementation more than in my code,
but here goes:
I have a simple .flv movie player. On mouse move (Over the
stage), an interface appears on top of the FLV playback component,
allowing the user to pause the movie. After a short while of no
movement, the interface disappears again.
This works well. The interface is not in the way and only
there when needed. The only problem is that I'm experiencing some
trouble with flashplayer for firefox on Windows. It works as
advertised in IE, 6+7 and Firefox/safari on Mac. The error
reproduces over several computers, so it's not a buggy
installation.
What happens, is that the FLVPlayback component pauses when
the mouse doesn't move. This is of course a problem because of the
40% black overlay that is part of the interface. So you can only
see the movie if you keep you mouse moving within the player, and
is able to distract from the interface overlay.
I implement the mouse handling as shown.
That's all there is to it. The show and hide functions do
just that. Make a _root.onEnterFrame and uses that to show or hide
the interface like shown.
Nothing in there has anything to do with stopping the
playback. I'm showing a button, that's all. Not clicking it.
The error only occurs in Firefox on Windows.
I suspect it's something to with Event handling, when leaving
the Stage area.
Is done in Flash 8 on MacOSX
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Michael

Firstly there appears to be a bug in the Kerberos libraries where it does not look at the local cache on XP. Try with -Dos.name="Windows 2000". This should trick the java libraries into thinking it's on W2K and look at the LSA cache. There appears to be other issues here but still trying to investigate further.
Secondly you haven't specified a CallBackHandler yet you have DoNotPrompt =false. Thus Kerberos will try to ask for the username and password (since it doesn't talk to LSA) yes none is defined in your call to LoginContext.

RoboForm Lite no longer works for Firefox 17 windows 7 and server 2008r2

Greetings,
RoboForm Lite no longer works for Firefox 17 windows 7 and server 2008r2 I tried to reinstall but none of the tabs function . Thank you for your assistance

'''roboform_firefox:'''
The original poster (OP) reported his/her OS as Windows 7 in the body of the question, therefore, your solution would be of no use to the OP. You can also see the OS for the system used by the OP to post the question to the right of the original question in this forum .
Additionally, using an old version of Firefox is ill-advised as old versions contain uncorrected security vulnerabilities. Roboform has been very good lately in keeping their products updated for new Firefox releases and any problems with their products should be reported to them so that they can address any issues and release an update if needed.

Am unable to find a "reload" button for Firefox under Windows 7.

Where is the Reload button?

Firefox 4.0 has a '''''combined''''' Reload/Stop button that is positioned at the far right of the location bar. (see image attached at bottom of this reply)
In Firefox 4.0 you can move the Stop/Reload button out of the location bar and put them wherever you want on the toolbar. You can also make them appear as separate buttons on the toolbar.
* Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move them out of the location bar.
* Swap the two buttons or move them to their previous position at the left of the location bar.
* If the order is "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
* Swap the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

Why does Flashplayer for Firefox create 1000's of FAP####.tmp files and never cleans then up?

Version Info
FlashPlayer Plugin version: 11.9.900.117 (and many version before)
Firefox version                   : 24.0 (and many versions before)
Windows Version               : Windows 7-SP1
Directory of Files               : C:\Windows\Temp
Details
I noticed this started all of a sudden over the last year or so, when my virus scans started taking longer and longer and more and more files were being scanned even though no windows updates were done to the computer and regular windows cleanups (Administrative tools->Free Up disk space app) were performed. Before that it was fine.
It doesn't happen right away. It happens after many web browsing sessions (may take several hours to reproduce) of opening and closing the Firefox web browser and browsing a lot of Flash based websites. Once it starts every single website that contains a flash player object cause the files to occur (In other words, it's fine for a while and then all of a sudden it starts, even if you restart Firefox).
There is 1 file for every flashplayer object on the page (example: 2 flashplayer items cause 2 FAP####.tmp files to be generated). The only way to stop this (temporarily) is to reboot the computer (I only reboot about once a week and use hibernate during the week).
I had over 3500 of the randomly numbered files in the windows temp dir and the windows cleanup doesn't recognize these files as candidates to remove (I guess because they are application specific files). So I have to keep a Windows Explorer session open in Win Temp dir to periodically remove the files.
I did google this and found this has been going on here and there for a few years. There were various discussions about uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox and the flashplayer and then people claim it didn't work and started again after some period of time.
I also found a website that said this was caused by some protected mode the flash player is running now. They gave instructions on how to turn off the protected mode, but I've been hesitant to do this, due to some of the protections that were described and was afraid I'd be leaving myself open to viruses or other attack.
Why is the flashplayer generating these files?
Why isn't flashplayer cleaning up after iteself and forcing me to clean up thousands of files manually?
why doesn't Adobe manage this properly once and for all, considering how long it's been going on?
I would appreciate any thoughts on this issue.
Thanks.

Can you post back here a screenshot from this issue?

Bug - ckeditor detection for Firefox 17.0

Due to a bug in either FF 17.0 or ckeditor a dangerous, I dare say vulnerability, is made available to users using FF 17.0. The behavior is described here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/942438?page=2
A workaround is available, but I didn't pursue, which requires editing of some portion of fckeditor browser checking. My workaround was to force users to update to a version of Firefox other than 17.0. I preferably directed them to the Extended Support Release version using javascript since we are an enterprise environment.
I plan to pursue update to CKEditor, meanwhile what options do I have to verify that for any update to a web browser I'm not exposing my edit enabled pages to source code changes?

I decided to take a close look at differences within the user agent string so that successful prevention of users posting with Firefox 17.0 can be conducted from the server.
Here is a comparison of Firefox 17.0 and 17.0.1 user agent string.
Armed with that knowledge, parsing the UA string within Coldfusion and forcing users to update prior to allowing the editor to load should provide some means of protection against FCKEditor allowing HTML and Javascript editing to just anyone.
I ended up using this to parse the UA string and take action:
if(ReFind("Gecko/17\.0.*Firefox/17\.0$",CGI.HTTP_USER_AGENT))
 WriteOutput('
 <script language="JavaScript">
 alert("Due to a bug in version 17.0 of Firefox this version is restricted from access to FCKEditor. Please update to version 10.0.11 Extended Support Release or 17.0.1 or later. If you need assistance with this please contact <Your IT Phone Number> or email <Your IT helpdesk number> and request an update to your Firefox browser.");
 window.location.replace("http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all.html?lang-search=English&x=0&y=0");
 </script>'
Message was edited by: D@yzW0rk Added script to take corrective action. Meant for use with Extended Support Release environments. Note the URL leads to the 10.x ESR not the next 17.x release branch.

How do I install Flash Player for Firefox on Windows 8?

I installed Windows 8 today on my Intel Core i3 6GB RAM 64-bit machine, and cannot get Firefox 18.0.1 to run Flash.
I kept getting "PlayerPlugin_11_5_502_146.exe" memory errors.
I've gone to http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html and tried the 11.6 Beta releases offered to no avail - although the error changed to "PlayerPlugin_11_5_602_146.exe".
Help? (But, please be gentle - I might be a "5" on the "PC Tech Competency Scale to 10".)
Many thanks,
Yelnak

Can Chrome be a satisfactory replacement for Firefox on Windows 2000 ?

Firefox recommends Opera as a replacement. Would Chrome be as satisfactory a replacement for Windows 2000 Pro

If you have Windows 2000 and Firefox 12, you won't receive anymore updates. Windows 2000 hasn't been supported for almost 2 years so you should update Windows if possible.

I cannot download the latest QuickTime 7 plug-in for Firefox on Windows 7

This all started when a website I go to frequently told me that my QuickTime plugin 7.3.1.70 in FireFox was "vulnerable". I told Firefox to update it and got to a dialog box asking me if I wanted to "Save file" to save the installer binary. I pushed "Save file" and expected to get a dialog box to tell it where to save the file to. (I have FireFox configured to always prompt me where I want downloads to be saved.) I never got a dialog box. Nothing happened. Is something amiss with the Quicktime website at https://secure-appldnld.com? It was trying to download "QuickTimeInstaller.exe".

you are downloading from here? > QuickTime 7.7.6 for Windows <- this is just one level deeper than QTK's link, I think.
Bottom line, if Chrome download works but FF does not, that tells us that it is a FF issue and should be looked into there

How do I make bt yahoo my home page for firefox in windows 7? (I had it so in vista.)

When I open firefox I would like it to open up in btyahoo. How do I configure the firefox homepage to do this. Was able to do so in Vista but have now got windows 7

Before I posted the original question here, I had probably spent a couple of hours trying to research it.   I hate to find no answer for something I know can be done.   So I spent some more time and found the following in the bowels of a Tech Forum that is generally way over my head. I have modified it to be Photoshop specific.
These instructions will update the default EDIT action for image types - jpg,png,gif and the variations.     If you are unfamiliar with editing the program registry you probably will want to back up your registry or take a system backup.
1. Open up the registry editor (Regedit.exe).
You will need to be signed on as a Windows user that is an administrator
2. Find HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT -> SystemFileAssociations -> image -> shell -> edit -> command
This seems like it would be easy but it is not, because there are many key names that are very close (like System.FilesAssociations).   Keep looking because you will find it eventually.
3. Double click on "Default" (on right window pane) and update the program location.
You should see that MSPAINT.EXE is the current program.
Erase the existing value and enter you photoshop location in quotes followed by %1 in quotes. For me this is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
Hit return.
4. Exit Regit and test.

When is the release date for Firefox on Windows Phone? (Specifically the 'phone of the year' - the Lumia1020). Thank you.

New to the Windows Phone environment (former Apple fanboy/big Android fan)... the Lumia1020 had such an amazing camera, I had to switch. And it's incredible. No regrets so far...I really am surprised how much I like the WP interface... the live tiles/customization is incredible... and they are starting to get all the major apps now (obviously no where near the selection as the competition, but enough of the big ones where I can still function as I did). Sadly though they are still severely lacking in this browser category. Internet Explorer is too slow. Whoever comes to market first - Firefox or Chrome is going to have a monopoly on their hands going forward... I'd highly suggest you get a team of developers and start working on an app as soon as possible. It's a win-win for everyone!
Thank you

Currently there are no plans for a version of Firefox for Windows Mobile.

Very strange bug with AIR and native process (Windows 7, EXE)

Hello to everyone!
The situation is:
I've made an AIR Application, inside of that is running a native process - EXE file.
I'm using Flash CC as IDE and tried to use compile that as EXE with AIR 2.6 and 3.6 - results are same.
So I've insert inside a checking if Native Process is supported or not and the Native process is supported all the time.
When I've just installed the application and run it - the very first attempt is good - everything is working as a must: internal EXE is called by my Application with necessary parameters as many time as I'm need.
However if I'll close the App and then will run it again - internal EXE is not starting at all, doesn't depends on number of attempts to re-start of the App.
So only way is to uninstall, install it back and then you'll be one more session of successful internal EXE-requests, till the next re-start of the App.
That's it.
I've tried to "google it" but unsuccessful. Probably the bug is very rare.
Help me please?
Update: at compilation with Flash CC IDE it's working all the time with no any issues.
Update-2: when I'm running installator-EXE, there is going a notification "Same version is installed, etc." and then selected "Run Now" - there is also working with no problems.

Well, I've found the solution and answer by myself and here is it please:
In case with same situation as above you need to add just one line in your AS3-code
nativeProcessStartupInfo.workingDirectory = File.applicationDirectory;
And you will be happy so much
