So I cheated and used a Firefox add on to see if spoofing a different browser would do the trick, and it didn't seem to change anything.
I am specifically curious about what is making the calls below, and whether or not there is some dynamic code that is breaking because of something going on with Firefox. I would also be curious if this is a recent break or if you went back several versions in time in the Firefox builds if we would see the same problem. Do you own the server or do you have access to the tech resource that owns the server? Checking the logs to see what errors are being thrown would be helpful. 403 generally implies an access/permissions issue, but the fact that it's working for all other browsers without issue seems odd. http://www.hippeis.com/undefined --- what is causing that link to be built? All told, pretty darned sure it's not an issue with SWFObject as much as a unique situation between Firefox and your webserver. I can confirm that things work in the other browsers I have access to: Safari, Chrome on Mac platform.
