User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

The URL above gives the address of a security web camera manufactured by
Panasonic. Obviously it was designed for IE and works fine with IE. 

It would be nice if these could be made to work properly with Firefox as the
main white goods guys are all making millions of these cameras available. 

I hope you can help with this.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select the camera..
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Sometimes we get a message "this page has no valid data"

Expected Results:  
displayed the camera and allowed pan tilt operations

can you check bug 195193 and bug 167784 and dupe to it if you think it's the
same issue ?

I am familiar with both of the cameras described, I cannot honestly say that
this is the same thing or not. It is true to say that IE requires an activeX
application.

The problem we are seeing is that occasionally the camera simply fails to
connect to fetch the images on startup.

I shall leave the camera running to see if it freezes the same way as described
in the other bug reports.

If its of ay use we have examples of just about all the IP enabled cameras and
can make them available on our network.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
