Enter the following into your CSS to remove the dotted line border from Flash objects in Firefox 4.

object { outline:none}

Still trying to figure out the hand cursor issue though.

update: This problem has not been solved in version 5.

I've read at several places this is a "minor problem": I can assure you it is not! Every flash site relies on buttons, and in many cases, the only way to communicate to the user that the content is clickable, is by displaying this handcursor! This problem NEEDS to be solved!

I am agree with ivoboeykens this is a very big problem of ergonomy. Since this problem I use Google Chrome, navigate with firefox 4 (or 5) is just impossible in flash websites. Firefox is going on a bad way...

(In firefox Aurora (6) the cursor problem as been solved but, the dotted outline still here....)

How is this a minor problem... sounds like someone not needing this feature deciding for everyone that this is a minor problem... its not... This is supposed to be an UPGRADE. I have since gone back to version 3

This has been frustrating me immensely since upgrading to Firefox 4. When I saw there was an upgrade available to Firefox 5, I was relieved because I knew they must have fixed this problem. Imagine my surprise when I opened a Flash site in Firefox 5 only to discover that it's still there! My own website is Flash based, and I design sites for others in Flash as well. Without the hand cursor, there is simply no way to indicate that certain areas are clickable or that certain text are links. How can I reassure my clients that their websites will be usable? "Don't worry, your website will work fine... as long as no one's using Firefox 4 or 5." Come on, this is a big deal. Please get this fixed as soon as possible.

Just updated to version 5 and this issue isn't fixed!

All the other browsers that had these issues have been fixed.

I guess it's a "minor" problem that 50% of my site audience can't see the cursor change over buttons and in some cases cannot even register clicks inside of the flash area where all other browsers work fine.

Come on, don't give me a reason to have to admit to other developers that IE is actually better than FireFox in certain areas...

This really needs fixed. Firefox is starting to get a bad name here in our studio with this and poor font rendering. Wish I could just go back to v3 as 4 and 5 were a mistake in regards to these.

If the mouse cursor not changing with flash content is labeled as a minor issue... release firefox where the mouse cursor doesn't change over html elements (links, text areas etc) and see how `'minor`' the issue is...

firefox???
