For some reason the example chat client cant connect to the server in Firefox 3.6.8.

I've also tried Chrome (6.0.472.11 dev), Safari 5 and Firefox 3.6.7 and it works fine in all, but not in Firefox 3.6.8.

The console gave me this:
[WebSocket] cannot connect to Web Socket server at ws://123.456.789.123:8080/socket.io/flashsocket (SecurityError)
make sure the server is running and Flash socket policy file is correctly placed
http://123.456.789.123:8080/client/socket.io.js
Line 1628

Im using NodeJS v0.1.102

Thanks

EDIT: IE8 doesn't work either (same error as Firefox 3.6.8 when looking in the console)

Chat demo doesn't work FireFox 3.6.8, with yesterdays git. It works nicely in Safari or Chrome. There is no error, but a console log just "http:".

Doesn't work for me either, any workarounds? does a previous version work with firefox?

It seems that the server process don't have enough rights to use 843 port that is used for flash transport. Default fallback for browsers without web sockets support is flash.

So you should either give your server enough rights or lower the 'flashsocket' transport priority using io.Socket 'transports' option.

Thanks, opening port 843 solved the problem.
