Hi, all,
This has to do with Flash player being in protected mode. Here's how to
disable it on 32-bit Windows 7. On 64-bit, you'll need to use a
different path, system64 maybe? I imagine you can take similar steps in
Vista.
1. Run Notepad as an administrator. To do this, hit the Windows key,
start typing "notepad" until you hear "notepad" read back to you. Hit
the context key and select Run as Administrator.
2. In Notepad, open the file called
c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\mms.cfg (replace c with the proper
drive letter if different.)
3. Add the line:
ProtectedMode = 0
at the bottom of the file.
4. Save the file and exit Notepad
5. Restart Firefox.
This should put things back the way they were in previous versions of
Flash. The other benefit is that Flash content will now play at the
volume at which you have Firefox set. That is, it won't blare at full
volume every time you play a different piece of Flash content.
Good luck!

nod32. it is probibly the flash player again. its junk and mazila
continues
to support it. and this version of flash player does not use the plug in
container so it can not be disabled.
w e is almost totally disabled when the invisible screen comes up
all you can do is mouse click on the screen, alt tab out and back in to
firefox or open the windows key then alt tab back into firefox then w
e will
load.

Subject: Firefox 14 popping something up that Window-Eyes does not see(?)
Hi, folks.
IE9 and Window-Eyes are fighting like two cats in a bag, so I've
resorted to
Firefox until, hopefully, a solution to the IE problem is found.
Meanwhile,
every time I launch Firefox, the browser opens, then a window pops up
on top
of it. All I can get Window-Eyes to tell me about it is that it is
some sort
of edit window. No tabbing or shift tabbing, and Control-Shift-W reveals
nothing. I can close it with Alt-F4, but having to do this every time FF
launches is getting tedious. I thought it might have something to do with
test pilot, but after I turned off test pilot, this mysterious edit
window
is still popping up.
Any clues?
