firefox not working on a certain website.

madicoe · 07-08-2009, 12:11 AM

I was trying to access this website http://www.iloveyoubethcoopermovie.com/seventeen/ on fedora 11 using firefox. I had to to enter a code in a box but the box was not being displayed. So I then tried the same website on Ubuntu 9.04. I got a little better results. I got the box to enter the code but I could not type anything into the box. I could not even get the cursor into the box.
Has anyone faced a problem similar to this and is there a solution?
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having the same problem (box not showing up) under Firefox 3.5 on Mac OS X Leopard. The box does show up in Safari.

It is a .swf, so make sure to have some flash player installed.

The file is a flash thing, i was able to get the text box but after that i cannot move forward. This is the code for the swf file

After digging deeper and reading the replies to this post, I did a search on the web. I solved this problem by downloading flash from Adobe, then: here is what I did.
su -
tar xvf libflashplayer-10.0.22.87.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/
Restarted FF and visited some flash web sites and all seems well.
The only drawback was the website I was having the problem with had ceased
the promotion it was having.
Thanks all, again.

I don't think that would have helped in any event for that specific website (just about everything else works fine for me). I'm using FFx with the same flash plugin (10 r22) as you and I coudln't see the box.
Cheers,

This glitch sounds a lot like what happens in older Windows OS's when the browser's cache is full...

jdkaye,
After reading your latest post, I was determined to see the actual results if I could get to the website that was causing the problem.
I remember including the link with my post, so I fire up ff logon to lq
and click on the link in the post.
All went well, I even got the ticket which is of no use because it has expired.
Flash seems to working fine now as I mentioned before.
Thanks all.
