Make Flash Plug-In for Firefox Remember Privacy Settings for Camera and Mic Access on Local File

My company is using Flash Player to develop some kiosk-style applications to run on a standalone computer (no network connection). This computer will contain web pages containing Flash content. They will be opened from the local HD with Firefox with the Adobe Flash plug-in (v11.7.700.224). One of the applications accesses the microphone hooked up to the computer. When this application is started, it always asks for permission for "local" to access the microphone and camera. In previous versions of our system, we could click "Remember" if we did it once and that would make it so it wouldn't ask for permissions again (in this case, the Remember option isn't available, and the site settings don't even offer the Privace tab). However, in the previous case, we were running IE with a previous ActiveX Flash version (unfortunately, this approach is no longer available as we have had to switch to Windows 8 and that changes the game with IE and Flash entirely).

At this point, we have tried to use the Global Settings for "Camera and Microphone Settings by Site..." to enter "Local" as an always allowed site. This does not seem to have any effect. We also tried entering the root directory of the applications in "Trusted Location Settings", but that also seemed to have no effect.

I'm not sure what has fundamentally changed here. I think there might be some differences in the Plug-In version (compared to ActiveX), but I'm not sure what they might be or how to do the same thing as before.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Torrey

We have discovered that the problem goes away if the user is an administrator. I'm not sure why the privacy settings for camera and microphone only seem to work right for the administrator. Perhaps it is tied to the location where the privacy settings are stored. Does this trigger any thoughts?

Thanks,

Torrey

Hi Torrey,

I'll ask around to see if anyone has any ideas here.  Have you read the Flash Player admin guide?  In particular, you might want to read the security section and Global and User Flash Player trust directories.

Chris,

Thanks for your input. I haven't seen this guide before. We've had a bit of a hard time finding much documentation like this. I'll read through that and see if it gives some answers.

Thanks,

Torrey
