I've developed a website (www.fit-mamas.com.au) whereby you click on the black & white image and get a pop-up window running a video. The video is an .flv file running via a .swf file loaded from an html file. The .swf file was produced using Flash CS3. The video loads perfectly in all browsers except for Firefox which just displays a blank screen with video controls. I've been researching online for hours, as this problem is a common one, but nobody else's solutions are working for me. Any help would be appreciated. My code is as follows:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" 

 codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0"
 id="fit-mamas" width="640" height="400">
 <param name="movie" value="fit-mamas.swf">
 <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
 <param name="quality" value="high">
 <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="samedomain">
 <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
  pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
  width="640" height="400"
  src="fit-mamas.swf" name="fit-mamas"
  bgcolor="#FFFFFF" quality="high"
  swLiveConnect="true" allowScriptAccess="samedomain"
 ></embed>

The video works for me on Linux. The server seems to be slow and playing stops all the time.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I had a problem with the following param:

<param name="Play" value="-1" />

which prevented the movie to run in Firefox while it run in IE8.

To address the issue I removed that param.

Cheers
