ULTIMATE Member
hi i manage to get firefox 8 working with launch.com but no luck with firefox does any one know how ?

this is wat i did to my firefox 8 to work with launch.com

# 1) Install Windows Media Player 9 if you haven't got that version already

# 2) Follow the instructions to install the activex plugin correctly for Firefox from this thread

# 3) Install User Agent Switcher extension
http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#useragentswitcher

# 4) Add Netscape 7.1 in User Agent Switcher options
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; Localization; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax)

# 5) Visit launch.com and select Netscape 7.1 from tools --> User agent switcher menu


so please let me know how can i do that with ff9

thank you
 
You might just have to wait for the plugin/ extension authors to catchup - might be worth checking out the main Mozilla Firefox forum which, unfortunately, is down at the moment.
 
Good news is that, just yesterday, many of the non-MS browser authors (Opera, Mozilla etc.) got together to design a plugin standard. Hopefully this will make such problems a relic of the past - if they ever finish it.

Thanks mark hope they will finish this soon
Petezab firefox support forum is down.... it’s down from last week I think :(


I really like to keep my browser up 2 date but with out the video support ff 9 is useless 4 me.

lets hope the plugins are not also designed to make firefox as insecure as IE....activeX on firefox??....no thanks......
 
yea but then jre got security holes too. internet is not safe :). if you take the any thing on the internet they will have their security holes eg cookie java script etc etc

Hi KDS,
You're absolutely right mate, but the main reason we use firefox is that it does do a good job of limiting the effect of those nasties that are out there. I'm all for ensuring firefox gets the acknowledgement and useage takeup it deserves, just so long as security isn't compromised.

yea true but the good thing is as long as lot of people use IE most hackers spend time on that so we are safe even if we do have a security holes any way ;).

thats the idea me started using ff on the 1st place. :D
 
I really like Firefox and I am making all eforts to use it, however, I cant get into my Mint online credit card account using it :( I have to use I.E. which kinda defeats the security element of Firefox.
 
Seems the Mozilla servers are in a bit of a mess at the moment - I think they're busy installing new ones hence all the downtime.

Some of the independent builders have moved to a temporary home at -

I tend not to use the official builds but those made by a guy called moox which seem snappier than the official version - builds are normally updated every day so if you want to give one of them a try, see the link below.

thanks guys

I got the answer now
Ok here's the scoop.... the ActiveX Plugin for Moz 1.7 is out but it will not run properly with FF 0.9 (unlike the 1.6 version which will run on FF 0.8 ).
Anyway, the good news is that the activex plugin which was compiled a while back by MonkeeSage works perfectly (near as I can tell) also on FF 0.9 and higher. I don't know why this version works and the one on Adam Lock's site doesn't. I have tested MonkeeSage's version on most sites I could find (including Yahoo Launch *see note below) and with out any problems.....
the link for ActiveX plugin is
http://gratisdei.com/activex-1.0.0.3.xpi

It it also recommended to replace/rename activex.js with a new activex.js file containing the following text to enable only the WMP.
Code:
pref("general.useragent.vendorComment", "ax");
pref("security.xpconnect.activex.global.hosting_flags", 9);
pref("security.classID.allowByDefault", false);
pref("capability.policy.default.ClassID.CID6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6", "NoAccess");
pref("capability.policy.default.ClassID.CID22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95", "AllAccess");


If anyone encounters a problem please post it

*to access Yahoo Launch u will need to temporarily modify your user agent (Netscape 4.x or 7.1 is ok)
