AS3 Microphone Privacy Settings Only Shows 3 Tabs - actionscript-3

So i've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure this out, and it's about time I ask for help. I have a flash audio recorder that is displaying a popup to the user asking them to allow microphone access using:
AS3 --
Security.showSettings(SecurityPanel.PRIVACY);
Now, on chrome it works perfect! Everything shows up correctly and looks like this:

Great. Now the issue is, on Firefox (and I believe IE9) it looks like:
http://postimage.org/image/mqp1kmcjj/
Notice how there are only 3 tabs in the second one (Firefox). Well, the second tab over is Privacy and allows you to "allow" or "deny" our website from accessing your mic. So it's a bit of an issue that that tab is not even visible... Any thoughts on that? I can't seem to find anywhere where anyone has had that same flash dialog box pop up with only 3 tabs.
Thanks in advance!

You can use [Allow][Deny] dialog:
It appears whenever you access microphone/camera by attaching them to NetStream.

As Sunil D. mentioned above, Firefox will not show some tabs in private/incognito mode. The problem is user can turn it on not only by opening new private window, but also by changing some regular Firefox preferences. Go to Firefox options, select "Privacy" tab and search for "History" group. There you will see a dropdown with "Firefox will:" label. There you can select "Never remember history" item and browser will show you a small tip:
Firefox will use the same settings as private browsing, and will not remember any history as you browse the Web.
Then your browser will be restarted. Further research revealed that Firefox really turns private mode on after such manipulations. Sunil D. and Jordan Reiter were both right - the problem can happen with users in private mode and problem can be solved by reinstalling Firefox with all it's configurations (including that history setting). Of course, it's much easier to ask users to change that setting. Also private mode detection with JavaScript can help to inform user about this expected problem.

Html input of type "file" freeze the browser sometimes

i'm struggling with the classic HTML input of type file. I was using it on my angular application and i had freeze sometimes, the whole browser became unresponsive, and the only thing that works is the scroll.
You can't click any buttons, select any text or even change tab on the browser for about 5 seconds. I tried a lot of different file type and sizes and it doesn't change any of this, it even freeze sometimes when i don't select any file in the explorer and i click the close button directly.
So I thought it was my implementation that was bad and i went to the Mozilla developper website where you have an example and I have exactly the same behaviour. I also tried to take only the HTML from the Mozilla website and put it alone on a .html file and again, same behaviour.
This does not occur 100% of the time, but I would argue that on my end it does it about 60/70 % of the times.
I tried it on chrome and Firefox (both up to date), on multiple computer (all running Windows though) and i have the same behaviour on all of them.
I don't have any error or anyting in the consoles.
I don't know what to do with this, i'm pretty sure it can't be the file's input on the whole web that are bugged, but i tried a lot of various things with always the same results. Should i report it somewhere? ( if so, where? ) Or what would you suggest to do to investigate this further?
I couldn't find anyone discussing this issue on the internet apart for this thread that had no solution, they also say in this thread that the bug is not reproducible in Edge, but i just tried and it does the same thing.
Thanks for reading me and for any help about this.
Chrome freezes for few seconds when after any use of file field.
It was because I had a shortcut in "Quick Access" menu in windows explorer. This shortcut has been linked with a folder shared by network. I've removed this shortcut and everything is good now.
Same here, I have a mapped network drive that is not responding, this make a 5 seconds delay. After unmapping the drive, no more delay. The delay is the same in firefox or chrome.
Same here, if you want to remove it, on Windows 10, click on the icon Quick access (blue star), then right click on the dead link appearing in the "Frequent folders" panel on the right panel and choose "Unpin/Remove from Quick access". There should be no error message.

Can't find the overrides or emulation tabs in chrome 2016?

I'm trying to view the emulation panel but I can't find it anywhere. Everywhere I've looked it says to open an overrides panel to find it but that's missing too. I also can't find any helpful or new answers to my question. Pressing esc only opens up console and there's nothing in settings that seems to help. Can someone please tell me how to reach it?
Instead of emulation in the drawer Device Mode is now offered for emulating other devices. It provides many benefits over the old emulation mode, such as taking into account the meta viewport tag on render. So what you see is much closer to what you'd get in real life.
I'm using 51.0.2704.103 (64-bit) on a Mac.
Cmd-Opt-i to open console.
Click the button with three vertical dots and the very top right of the Developer Tools window.
Select: more tools > sensors:
If the console draw is not already open it will open. Either way there should now be a sensors tab next to the console tab on the console draw. Click this tab and follow your nose from there.
Note that this tab had an x by it. Hitting this will hide the sensors tab and next time you use it you will need to follow the steps above again to reinstate it.

How to get warning massage when clicking close(X) button of browser with tabs in Google Chrome

How to get a warning massage if i accidently click the close button of the chrome browser which have multiple tabs opened at that time?
I am a regular user of Crome and having this problem while using it. I normally open multiple tabs inside a single browser but sometimes i accidently click the close button of browser and as soon as the button is clicked crome does't give any warning issue about multiple active tabs and close the entire window.
Is the end user like me is browsing on normal crome window then he can open the websites again by checking the web history but if he is browsing inside private browser then he can't do anything(this happens with me very regularly because i normally browse in private browser). On the other hand if you accidently click the close button in mozilla which have multiple tabs open it throws a warning massage to the user and asks for his wish.
Go find an extension called "Keep One Pinned Tab". It may not be exactly the function you need, but if you search for other extensions, I am sure there is such an extension that does just that. If you can't find one, I suggest to learn how to develop extensions and make one yourself, you can share it with others when it's done.

chrome://newtab loads delta search

I have wasted nearly 4 hours in fixing this.
After Babylon this time it is delta-search which makes my chrome sucks on every new tab. chrome://newtab loads: http://www2.delta-search.com/?babsrc=NT_ss_SU&mntrId=786E00E04C01EE9A&affID=121564&tsp=4987
I am not able to fix this. I have already fixed homepage, search setting and other browsers. Please help me to fix this new tab issue. I want "Most visited tab" to be there when I press new tab button.
A real solution is to reset some fields in "chrome://flags". This was the way I did last time in AVG or Babylon. I have solved my problem but I wish if someone could really give exact steps so that next time if a user gets stuck he can find it here.
:p
open google chrome, type chrome://flags/ on address bar and go to hidden configuration setting.

Disable back space key for browser based AS3 application

this is insanely annoying problem:
AS3 full screen application based on ADOBE FLEX 4, text field. User types something in text field, and then starts clicking backspace many many times to remove what he just wrote, and for some reason, instead of removing characters from text field it tells browser to GO BACK and user navigates away. Why?! Please, please help, this is so terrible. My users are losing important unsaved this is data while using my application!
i am using safari browser
PLEASE HELP.
Wow, this is terrible, I am so irritated, it happens every single time
It is possible that the focus is lost from your text field when hitting the backspace multiple times (check if you are firing some events on the text field that may cause this), which causes the main window to take focus and trigger 'Back' on the browser.
The root of the problem is that the browser carries out keyboard shortcuts REGARDLESS of the flash app having the focus or not. From what I heard this problem does not exist on Safari's for Mac, only Safari for Windows.
I would check to see what browser you are in and then create a popup saying you this app does NOT work on Safari browser ON windows.
Scratching head*
Well maybe if HAD to solve this, I would use the ExternalInterface to interact with Safari or javascript to PREVENT the history back button from getting applied. So it won't go back to an old page. That is what I would look into.
