   Hi,

   I'm having an issue with a Flash gallery that displays properly in IE and Chrome, but not Firefox. When accessing the page (in Firefox), the slideshow never loads, thus never displays any images.

   When attempting to directly access an image that is contained in the gallery, I receive the message, "403 Permission Denied. You do not have permission for this request /wp-content/Slideshow/gallery/album/tree.jpg"

   The images that the slideshow points to have a permission level of 0644.

   I'm currently on Firefox 3.6.12 with the Flash plug-ins and have confirmed that the gallery does not work on multiple computers. I'm running WordPress 3.0.1 and am hosted by Bluehost.

   I'm having a hard time trying to understand why the slideshow works in IE and Chrome, but not Firefox. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

   Check if you have any FireFox extensions/addons which may be interfering. Also test your site and make sure it is valid at http://validator.w3.org/

   Thanks bh_WP_fan. I've checked that no add-ons are interfering with the slideshow and tested the site using the link that you provided.

   The site that I'm working on is http://www.pjslittletiger.com/photo-vault/

   I've removed the 'tree.jpg' from the album and placed other images for the slideshow there, but the slideshow still doesn't appear in Firefox.

   Any other suggestions? Thanks again for your help.

   Currently I am getting a 404 when going to that link. It looks like you need to update your .htaccess code and reset/re-save your permalinks.

   The .htaccess code should look something like this:

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress

   I'm not sure why the 404 error was happening, but I was receiving the same error as well. When I re-created the Slidepress link to the slideshow on the page, the 404 error went away.

   I was finally able to resolve my issue. It seems that hot-linking was enabled on the host and that was conflicting with Firefox in some way. Once hot linking was disabled, the slideshow was able to appear in Firefox (along with other browsers). Thanks so much for the help!
