Firefox 9.0.1 & now 10 flash issue...

Hiya All,

I have been wracking my brains trying to figure out what happened between December and now to break my gallery and video player on a music site I created. I am totally baffled, I've tried every setting I can think of in Firefox, redownloaded flash all the way around, javascript too in case that mattered. I cannot seem to get it to work in Firefox 9.0.1 and 10, but I'm not sure if it's affected in any other versions of Firefox. I would totally appreciate if anyone with older FF versions could check this for me so I at least know, and if anyone has any kind of possible fix I can do for this that would be appreciated too. I gave feedback to Mozilla, but of course who knows if they got it or not as they never answer.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give.

Here is the site:
http://rockinwithmainstreet.com

The pages are the Photo Gallery and the About the Band pages.

You may need to break it out of the main menu by opening those 2 pages in a new window on their own so that it is broken out of the music player as the music player seems to take focus from all pages which doesn't allow you to refresh the pages themselves and always goes back to the home page if you refresh. Breaking them out on their own removes the music player script which is only resident on the index page.... hopefully that made sense lol....

Or just go here I guess just as easy lol:

once again, thanks for any help anyone can offer.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

This is a site I built for my work.(RSD)

I'm not able to check the galleries in ffx since the site is 'forbidden' for people outside th US.

@Eric, yeah I know it seems to be fine in all browsers other than Firefox

@Inger, thanks anyways Inger, sorry for that, wish I didn't have to do that, but the chinese spammers really did his site bandwidth in badly lol, so had to block all outside the US.

Jo Ann - Don't really know what to offer you here except that I don't see them with FX 10 either. I do know that FX 9 was really giving me fits with some things, but 10 seems to have fixed those issues (mostly that my set homepage tabs never held). As far as blocking outside of the US, can't you just block the Chinese region? I'd thought I'd seen that as an option when I was looking into blocking options when my kids site was getting bombarded by outside visitors.

probably, but I did it the hard way I suppose lol, found a site that helped you block the ip's of any and all countries etc. so I just did that.

As for the flash thing, the funny thing is that the calendar works just fine, and that's flash too. Wonder what's different about that vs. the gallery and video player?

It was not just China but a few different country that were racking up the bandwidth. But mostly there is no reason for anyone outside of the US to need to look at the site anyway.

Jo Ann,

I have looked for the issue on http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspa but have found nothing. You may want to start a thread there? Because it works fine in IE, just not in Firefox.

Oh I'm sure I should SirAGE, but I'm also sure that since the issue only happens in Firefox and all the rest of the browsers are rendering the scripts just fine, that Adobe will tell me exactly what my own thoughts on it are.... It's a Firefox issue, not an Adobe issue and I've already alerted Mozilla on it...
