On Firefox without Flash player:
* doesnt update anything
* doesn't show "(* system *) connection established by ..."
* JS error - uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property Window.meteorStrike

Tested with shooting_star 3.2.6 on
* Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2007122906 Firefox/3.0b3pre (Swiftfox)
* Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7

the problem is different host address of app and shooting_star
daemon. Because pages from those two different sources are in
different windows (floating frames) than Firefox for security
reasons blocks it.

I can think of two solutions to this problem. One is resign from
multi-threading javascript by using different windows. Second
is of writing proxy server that will hide from browser using
two different hosts (due to Mozilla FAQ different hosts are assumed
even when address differs only in port).
I haven't yet tried any of those solutions but hope, somebody
will try soon.
