I don't know if flash or jquery is causing this, but if you go to the following page (http://webdeveloperplus.com/jquery/multiple-file-upload-with-progress-bar-using-jquery/) and try the example (http://demo.webdeveloperplus.com/source-code/jquery-swfupload.zip) under linux/firefox 3+ the swf button doesn't appear. But if you do it under windows/firefox 3+ the button appears

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. download: http://demo.webdeveloperplus.com/source-code/jquery-swfupload.zip
2. unpack in web root
3. visit web root in browser
Actual Results:  
you can't see the swf button that you can see in both crome and opera

Expected Results:  
to see the swf button

The button DOES load in windows, it just seams the linux/firefox 3+ version that has a problem with this particular uploader. It could be a number of things since the swf object is called from jquery.

Reporter, can you still reproduce this bug in Firefox 6?

Please update to Firefox 6 or later, update your plugins, and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated version of Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME.

I don't know! I don't have time to test at the moment. I'll just mark it as solved
