When I have hotlink protection (via htaccess or cpanel) firefox returns forbidden on files that use SWF's. For example my SWF file uses a .txt to gather the data needed but on firefox this returns forbidden. I want this forbidden to stop hot-linking but firefox doesn't allow this. I have a test of this at habplus.com/betaclient.php and I am hotlink protecting furnidata but it returns forbidden on firefox. This works for all other browsers.
