Can we get an answer as to whether LiveConnect is going to be supported in Mozilla?
IMO, Mozilla without LiveConnect is too large of an obstacle for most people to overcome when switching browsers. I can't get my company to support Mozilla/Netscape 6 without an ability for us to control plugins like Flash and QuickTime from JavaScript. Two questions: 1. Will current plugins like Flash and Quicktime be able to be controlled from JavaScript using LiveConnect? 2. If not, what is the work-around, and are you evangelizing Macromedia, Apple, and other companies with ways to make their plugins work in Mozilla?
