We just upgraded to APEX 19.2 from 5.14. The applications seemed to migrate fine in general but I have noticed an issue with applications in IE 11. The font apex icons are not displaying. I have regions with a refresh icon and they do not display. The button operates fine but it's just an empty square. Has anyone else encountered this or know of a solution? This is mainly on my home page. If I navigate away to another page in the application they are also missing from that page. But when I navigate back they show up. Everything is fine in Chrome but not IE. I have to have this work in both.
Any help here is appreciated.
To be honest, you should be recommending that your users use a more modern browser such as Edge, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. Even if you do manage to find a workaround for your icon issue, Oracle has stated that they will be dropping support for IE 11 in APEX 20.2.

I'm using a Display Image Item with settings section set to 'BLOB Column returned by SQL statement'.
It shows the image (are big sized) without problems in Chrome, Edge or firefox but on IE it only shows a little black square with an X inside.
Any idea how to fix it?
Support for IE is deprecated since version 20.2, and even before there were features that did not work properly. My advice: don't use IE with Apex, if you can, use always other browsers which are properly supported and work without issues.
Display images might be one of those issues. Starting with Apex 18 this might be due to a problem with IE11 when using the X-Content-Type-Options:nosniff response HTTP header. The images from the display image items are not displayed correctly in IE11 because Apex is not able to define the correct mimetype.
This is reproducible in the case of BLOB Column Return by SQL Statement, which is exactly your case. You can confirm it using the console debug mode.
Notes
6.1.4 Support for Internet Explorer 11: Deprecated Support for Internet Explorer (IE) 11 is deprecated.
Starting with release 20.2, only the current and prior major release
of Microsoft Edge along with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple
Safari will be supported.
Deprecated means you can still use it, but support will ultimately be removed for it. Also as Microsoft has removed IE as its standard browser, replacing it by Edge, it is likely you will always have unexpected behaviour in this browser.
We all know that for security reasons and compatibility with legacy applications, many companies still use IE in order for those applications to work properly. However, using it with Oracle Apex is always a bad idea.
I've noticed that when I've the Firefox Developer Tools opened and I open any page (i.e. http://www.bbc.com/news) it scrolls the page to the top.
I've the 53.0.3 (64 bit). 32bit is the same.
How can I prevent this?
This is obviously a regression in the Firefox DevTools. So I've created bug 1371050 for it.
Update:
My bug report got marked as duplicate of bug 1365209.
I'm posting this with the hope to find an active Firefox developer to help troubleshoot a nasty bug. When using the Firefox browser with my web application, the page sticks within the tab and doesn't want to change. Clicking links to navigate off the page or just changing the address in the bar doesn't leave the page. This only happens in Firefox. Here's a screencast of the issue.

I can give a developer access (private message) to the application to help troubleshoot this issue. At the moment, we have to tell our clients to stay away from the Firefox browser when using our application or deal with this issue until it is resolved. We have no such problems with Chrome. So far I've been able to replicate this on both windows and linux.
Thanks!
I have just installed Joomla 3.1.4 on my local PC. Everything seems fine and it installed successfully. However when I go into admin through Firefox it does not show the admin toolbar in the backend so after making changes I cannot save, publish etc. However when I go into the site through Chrome everything seems to work well and the toolbar appears. I cannot workout what is stopping Firefox from displaying the toolbar. I had installed the site a number of times so Firefox seems to remember something from my previous usage.
I've noticed some strangeness with this latest release, also. It may be an admin template bug. Try scrolling the page when you're ready to save.
Update: I just checked 2 of my J3! sites, and they seem ok. Maybe a cache issue?
I'm having troubles testing a StageVideo file locally. The HTML file that contains the swf loads perfectly in Chrome & FireFox, but when I go to open it in Internet Explorer 9 nothing happens (it just shows a white screen).
I've added the permissions for the location to the 'Global Security Settings' tab of the Flash settings manager (on the Macromedia website). I've also checked in the IE9 settings to make sure that it allows GPU rendering.
Has anyone encountered anything similar or have any suggestions as to why it might be blocked in IE9?
Thanks in advance.
My gut feeling is that you don't have the latest Flash Player for IE, but do have it for Chrome/FF since they're 2 different versions. The swf probably doesn't even load up because of the Flash Player requirement.
