Fixed Upload button problems in FF

[nrep]

A user reported that clicking the "upload a file" button in flash upload mode caused problems in FF. It seems that the dialog box opens up behind the browser window, appearing as if clicking the button didn't work.

I can replicate this too using FF 31/32 in Windows 7.

I suspect this is a browser issue rather than an XF problem (as I don't know how XF could affect the upload dialog box position), but it doesn't occur using other flash based upload sites, so I thought a bug report may be warranted.

I can confirm this.

Unfortunately, I cannot confirm this. It's working as expected for me:



Windows 7, Mozilla Firefox 31.0.

I can confirm this.

The same for me.

not works i repport this before day or two, deinstall flash and install again helps, but tomorrow problems are back

 

[DaveM]

Lol and I thought I was being blond as this started happerning with me as of a few days back

This generally works as expected for me, though it did happen once.

Unfortunately, I doubt there's really anything that we can realistically do to change this.

@Mike this seems to me like it is a general problem with Firefox + Windows + Flash. I tried a forum which is running IP.Board 3.? and had the same problem there.

This problem has appeared after updating Adobe Flash !

 

[Amaury]

Now I can confirm it.

 

[oman]

Confirmed on my end.

Confirmed here Firefox 32.0.1 windows 7 64bit

A member had this problem yesterday on FF 31, they upgraded to FF 32 and it's working fine now. Windows Vista

Confirmed on Firefox 32.0.1, it seem related to Flash 15.0.0.152?

Updating to the last SWFUpload JS file (version 2.5.0 Beta 3 - released in 2010) seems to fix this specific problem (ref). But it could be a good thing to find a flash alternative before XenForo 2.x, like this addon released & sponsored by Tinhte and coded by xfrocks.

Option 1:
Edit the file xenforo/js/swfupload/swfupload.min.js and add at the end this code.
Option 2:
Edit the file xenforo/js/swfupload/swfupload.min.js and replace its full content with this code (from SWFUpload 2.50 beta 3)
Option 3:
Install this addon. It will use a html5 library to upload files instead of a flash solution script. This is probably the best solution.

Thanks Mate...installed Option 3 and it is working ok now...not sure what mobile devices will have any problems yet though

Would this be fixed in the new security patch, as it's altering the SWFUpload module?
