Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to site
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
It stops at the screen showing Loading XML File...

Expected Results:  
It should have shown icons in a circle.
Reproduced with FlashPlayer 10.3.162.29.

Hmm, does not work on Fx 3.6 either.
Could the Error be in the used SWFObject Library?

I get this in Error Console:

Do you check the http "Referer" header ?
That would be a dupe....

I tried it on Fedora 14 with an updated firefox and new plugins. It worked initially but now doesn't. That is why I filed it in the bugs section!!!

could be possible but every other browser works good and the point is that it worked on firefox initially even after the flash file was completed

two things:

1. how do we check it ????
2. it really truly worked in the initial stages in firefox
Also I tried to fix it by uninstalling the existing flash plugin and downloading a new one but that too failed.

Thanx
Err....

I think you may not have got the correct page. Please check again

Thanks a lot.
Apparently, as already stated i comment 3, it seems to be a problem with a missing Referer header when using Firefox. Here's a demonstration using the wget command, first without and then with Referer:

The current bug maybe is a duplicate of bug 410904 or bug 337766.

There must have been an update in the flash engine.

verified dupe.
>1. how do we check it ????
The referer header checking is a server side configuration.
The easiest way is to just check the server settings but using wget with --referer option also works.
