When will Firefox 7 support websockets (like Safari and Chrome)?

A test query to websockets.org echo test gets the result: "...the browser doesn't have native support for WebSocket". The same test using Safari or Chrome on a Mac results in: "This browser supports WebSocket". Same problem whether on OS X 10.6 or 10.7. When will Firefox 7 catch up to Safari and Chrome?

In Firefox you need to use MozWebSocket.

  • Firefox spacing looks different from Safari and Chrome

    The vertical spacing in the title layer is fine relative to the large image in Safari and Chrome but it's crowds the image in Firefox.  Can someone tell me how to fix it?  I want to retain the swapping feature of the image which is not in a layer.
    The site is http://dinghydogs.com

    Looks the same to me in FF 15.1 & current Chrome on Windows.
    You have quite a few coding errors that should be fixed.  Errors can compound display issues in some browsers.

  • Video and audio players will not show in Firefox. Players show in Safari and Chrome. (Mac computers). Do I need a plug-in?

    Tested on 3 apple mac computers:
    Mac Pro, Mini Mac and Macbook Pro.
    Each computer running Mountain Lion and Firefox 11.8.800.94
    Video and audio players not showing on website (video player is JWPlayer)
    Error on video player placeholder says 'No video with supported format and MIME type found'
    When the same site is access via either Chrome or Safari then the video and audio players show with all of the controls.

    You get this error if the video tag is used and not an object or embed tag that specifies a Flash player.<br />
    So this doesn't look like a problem with the Flash player as it is most likely not used in this case.<br />
    If there is fall back code to use a Flash player then it isn't working.
    Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.

  • Wordpress theme not displaying properly in Firefox, but shows well in Safari and Chrome

    Hi!
    I have a Wordpress site that i'm using a custom theme with. Starting yesterday, my website's layout is shifted around and very distorted when viewing in Firefox, but it's perfectly fine in Chrome and Safari.
    I tried deactivating the plugins, didn't help. I checked the site in multiple computers, same issue on all of them.
    When checking on Windows PC, only Chrome displays the site properly, both firefox and IE are giving the "Exploit Black Hole" warning. I checked the site with URLVoid and VirusTotal, it came up clean.
    Here's the link: http://selektorstyle.com
    At this moment, i have no idea what to do, so any help is much appreciated!
    Thank you.

    Seems to be working fine here on Linux.
    Can you attach a screenshot?
    *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
    Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
    If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause issues.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    If you are not on Windows then instead of "Tools > Options" use:
    *Linux: "Edit > Preferences"
    *Mac: "Firefox > Preferences"
    *Windows: "Firefox > Options" or "Tools > Options"
    <i>Press F10 if the menu bar is hidden on Windows and Linux</i>
    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer(s).<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

  • When will firefox stop supporting 3rd party cookies by default much like Safari does now?

    Safari by default doesn't accept 3rd party cookies and there have been reports that Firefox will follow suit. Any information in terms of the timeline as to when this will come into effect would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,

    You will probably see the change to only allow third-party cookies from visited sites in Firefox 26 (currently on the Aurora update channel).

  • I can't attach a file in Gmail using firefox, but its working in Safari and Chrome.

    I can't attach a file in Gmail using Firefox, I can attach files when using Chrome and Safari, so it must be Firefox.
    I've tried all the other suggestions for making things work, but nothing works so far, and it started yesterday afternoon
    (Aug 6th, 2014)

  • When will firefox be coming out with the complete 5.0 version that is compatible with McAfee site advisor? As I understand it is beta now.

    McAfee told me the current 5.0 version is a beta version, which is why Site advisor will not work with it. They also told me they are not updating site advisor anytime soon. So when will Firefox be updated to a complete and compatible version?

    Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended. Firefox 3.6.18 would be the safer choice.
    Here's the process to roll back:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 5.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.

  • When will Lightroom be supporting UHD/4K Displays (Win.)

    Simple question (Windows!)
    - When will Lightroom be supporting UHD/4K Displays and support HighDPI modes?
    - its a Nightmare to use it on a Dell UP2414Q without Font adjustment
    - I only use Lightroom but its seems this problem exists on any Adobe App. (Photoshop .... etc..)
    Thanks

    Yes I have tested that the different font sizes do actually work. Who told you that they don't?
    This is my normal display on a 1920x1200 monitor:

  • When will Firefox increase their HTML5 support?

    Like, since Firefox 11 the HTML5 support hasn't gone up a bit. Like it supports 345 points. As when even Opera and Safari bulldozed Firefox with a 376 and 385 pointer. Then Chrome FLATTENED Firefox, with a 437 points. And even Internet Explorer is chasing Firefox like a cat and a mouse, with 319 points and counting. Like WHEN, will Firefox actually put some more effort into building their HTML5 support?

    There is always work going on on increasing our support of the HTML5 standard. For example, from Firefox 14.0.1 to Firefox 17 (still in development, the HTML5Test has gone from 345 to 383. The HTML5 standard is still evolving, and work is always being done. However, this isn't the best place to discuss this. [https://developer.mozilla.org/ https://developer.mozilla.org/] is the developer portal for Firefox and covers all the HTML5 work going on.

  • When will WebGL be supported on iOS Mobile Safari?

    In our enterpirse we have developed a WebGL application using Three.js framework. Now, our customer wants it to run on Apple iPad. The problem is that we have found out that WebGL is only supported on iOS by using iAd. So we are wondering when will WebGL be supported on iOS mobile Safari to decide what to do.
    Thanks!

    Dunno, it's a bit off topic, but there's no way that an emulated ARM build of flash would even run at all on iOS at the current point, let alone 7 years ago.
    It's not that you can't build good flash, it's just that people don't. As you've said, you can use a dumbed down, non-extensible Adobe GUI to spit out javascript, and it'll tank just the same. Adobe Photoshop used to be the most blazingly fast application on the Mac. Adobe are a different story these days. Flash is a resource hog, whereas javascript is outright inefficient at moving graphics around, although it is improving substantially.
    Flex, on the other hand, is open source.
    Flash was actually created by Adobe. Adobe owned the vector graphics bezier patents, so Macromedia couldn't build a GUI editor for their Shockwave platform, which was sort of C++ territory, for making CD ROMS. Not used a lot because of the manual type of input required.
    Macromedia bought flash as a cheapo animation program with some strange usability ideas (such as applying boolean intersects to overlapping objects without asking you), but combining this legally-released and patent-free GUI editor with shockwave export capabilities made shockwave accessible to non-technical users. Who would pile on loads of effects, run it natively as an app to test, and then deploy it in a web plugin which runs far less efficiently. That's not exactly Flash's fault, but the fact that they've just ported it wholesale a whole bunch of times without a proper human rewrite makes for evil performance, a problem you don't have with javascript. You don't have to get what Adobe want to give you as a binary, like it or lump it.
    iOS ***** in many ways, the fact that you have to reverse engineer everything and crack if you want to get even the most basic level of customisability and extensibility that you would expect on any decent computer is genuinely frightening. That device could also be up to absolutely anything behind your back, and you'd be none the wiser staring at the GUI. Just trust apple. Or ask somebody who has been prodding around in there with a sharp screwdriver.
    Neither Adobe nor Apple have an entirely ideal character for the relationship to have worked. Adobe own a shedload of patents when it comes to the maths behind image processing technology. Adobe Postscript is built into OSX, comes from NeXT. Mr Jobs lost his rag with Adobe when Adobe forced Apple programmers to work on the code related to PostScript in some sort of high security bunker, and wouldn't let them take away anything but binaries. This made the development work a massive hassle. The Apple programmers also suggested that a lot of the code was hidden out of shame rather than out of protectionism. Adobe's real strength is legalised monopolies on basic image processing technology, they've owned it since they turned over Paintbox's patents on alpha blending of pixels.
    Been using Apple & Adobe products as my day to day workhorse stuff for over 20 years. Adobe used to be just as bad as the other software firms for generally mean behaviour, but they did write hand-optimised C++, and every year they'd raise the bar with features that you actually need. Each new version would save you weeks in a month.
    Post-internet, whole different ballgame. Different setup, $bns at stake now. Land grab for the new ultra-consumerised computer technology. The good thing about consumers is that you can subject them to abuse, they get a yea or nay decision. Do you want what we're giving you?
    These sorts of computer industry companies used to be toolmakers for the graphics industry.
    Now they're supplying the communications technology for everything. Consumables plugged into every industry in the world. That sort of power is a corrupting influence.

  • Firefox will not open Version 4.01 (tried to download new version), on MacBook Pro running 10.6.8. Safari and Chrom both work OK

    I cannot get on-line with Firefox. It simply will not open any page. I'm told it cannot make a connection. And yet both Safari and Chrome work fine, hence it is not a connection problem.
    Moreover, when I started with Chrome, it offered me the option to export bookmarks, but only from Safari. Firefox never appeared in the import box
    I was using Firefox 4.01. I tried to download the new version, dragged it to Applications, but 4.01 remains in situ. I work on a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8

  • When will HTML5 be supported on all browsers without Flash

    When will HTML5 be supported on all browsers without Flash.  Flash is a support nightmare.  No matter how much Adobe wants to rescue it, it's antiquated proprietary functionality that poses both security and support issues.

    "When will HTML5 be supported on all browsers without Flash?"
    This is a really weird question.  Why ask it here?
    For starters...HTML5 support on all browsers is not something Adobe is responsible for, so why ask that question on this forum?  Instead, if you want anyone with a stake in the issue to answer it, ask the browser manufacturers (e.g. Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, Apple) when they will be supporting all features of HTML5.  The ball's in their court right now.
    Secondly, for e-learning developers HTML5 is currently a bigger support nightmare than Flash ever was.  At least with Flash we had a runtime (Flash Player) that all major desktop browsers supported. You could create a course in Flash or Captivate, and as long as the end-user's browser had a current version of Flash Player, you could be reasonably certain it would run, and run smoothly.  HTML5 output from most current generation authoring tools runs like a dog with three legs.  And e-learning developers forced to build HTML5 or mobiles are encountering a minefield of wildly differing screen sizes and inconsistent implementations reminiscent of the worst years of the 90's "browser wars".  HTML5 is no picnic.  Give me Flash any day.
    Thirdly, Adobe already knows they cannot "rescue" Flash.  Why do you think they've already started rolling out HTML5-centric apps such as the Edge Toolset.
    Fourthly, the rumours of the death of Flash have been wildly exaggerated.  Flash is very much alive and well and happily living inside many of the games and apps that people are currently playing with on their mobile devices.
