Leopard Breaks Flickr Uploader

November 1st, 2007 by Keith

Caught this story over on DownloadSquad tonight.  OS X Leopard causes a problem with the Adobe Flash plugin for all browsers on OS X (Firefox, Safari and Opera were tested).  The problem has been acknowledged by Adobe but no release date of a fix has been determined.

As I found out last night it makes the uploader *very* broken.  You can select files to upload, but once that’s done the uploader simply does nothing.  Sits there like a bumpkin on a log.  One wonders why Adobe didn’t take the time to test this with one or two of the Leopard Betas / Release candidates…

The DS article does mention a partial workaround, but it’s a HACK.  I would caution against even attempting it.  If you need to upload in the meantime, just use the client application and ignore the issue  until Adobe get their act together.
