Issues

Audio and Video

If Firefox will not play audio and video it is probably because the content type of the media is set incorrectly. I had this problem with the Rackspace Cloud when uploading files through their web interface. The files uploaded this way were give then type of application/octet-stream when they should have been video/ogg or audio/ogg. In my case, uploading through the Django admin interface using the FileField set the content types correctly.

FireFox 1.5 - Red Caret

See: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=1950186&highlight=red+caret&sid=a772f54c67113fb0a6d1b55594e82a59#1950186

Have just installed FF1.5 and now have a thick grey bar at the bottom of the browser screen, with a red arrow (caret) on the far left hand side. I have uninstalled all my extensions, and tried Safe Mode, but it’s still there. Is there any way round this, or should I uninstall and go back to the previous version?

If this file exists, you should delete it:

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome\m3ffxtbr.manifest

It’s part of the MyWebSearch toolbar that is broken in 1.5, and is spyware.
