Issues with Firefox 1.5

NOTE: This posting is only for international users that are trying to use Gizmos with Firefox 1.5. It should be noted that we do not officially support this browser.

For those that use Firefox, the most recent release (1.5) seems to have a bug for some international users. If you do use this browser Shockwave is influenced by your locale settings. If you have the decimal symbol for numbers set to a comma (the mainland european default), you will experience the bug you are seeing. Set the decimal symbol to a period and it works again.

On a PC go to your Control Panel and open the 'Regional and Language Options'. On the first tab, press the 'Customize button'. In the Numbers tab, change the 'Decimal symbol' character to a period (.). Ok these settings and restart Firefox 1.5.

For additional technical information on this browser bug you can read more on this posting at Aldo's Blog.
