We are allowing end user to scan 2D matrix barcode using a wedge scanner in our application. We are facing a problem where different elements of the bar code are not getting split into the application. On investigating this further, we found that Firefox browser not recognising the FNC character(input character 29) coming from input stream (barcode scanner in this case).

Hi, I think it would be better to report it at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org.

You could mention there that it works in other browsers.

And please post the bug number when you do so.

Thanks. I'm going to mark opening the bug as "solving the problem" since that's where we'll figure things out.
