I basically tested the site with firefox 4.0.1. It worked fine initially but now the homepage does not load up properly in firefox. It still works with IE and Chrome. 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.

Hmm, does not work on Fx 3.6 either. Could the Error be in the used SWFObject Library? I get this in Error Console: Warning: anonymous function does not always return a value Source file: http://words-with-flesh.x10.mx/swfobject.js Line: 4, Column: 8526 ...

That would be a dupe....

It worked initially but now doesn't. That is why I filed it in the bugs section!!!

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: $ wget -S http://words-with-flesh.x10.mx/images/quotes_hot.png --2011-06-01 17:50:13-- http://words-with-flesh.x10.mx/images/quotes_hot.png Resolving words-with-flesh.x10.mx... 69.175.120.122 Connecting to words-with-flesh.x10.mx|69.175.120.122|:80... connected.

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

Resolution: --- → WORKSFORME
There must have been an update in the flash engine.
Resolution: WORKSFORME → DUPLICATE
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.
