Why doesn't my background song on myspace play on Firefox but it plays on IE?
<object type="application/x-mplayer2" classid="6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B1... height="25" width="175">
<param name="fileName" value="Song here" />
<param name="URL" value="Song here" />
<param name="src" value="Song here" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
</object>
Answers:
not all internet servers are the same. you should use IE if you want it to play for you. It will play for other people with IE but not firefox
The pirate dude is right. Firebox, and IE don't exactly have the same standards as to how it reads webpages. Web designers often have to take this in consideration when creating a website because most people using IE, but Firefox is coming on strong. Music not playing in the background of a personal webspace is acceptable, but if you running a million dollar website, you want all your visitors to be able to view it correctly. There is a hole host of things IE can do that firefox can't and vice versa!
ie7 has problems with css and html
u should edit ur myspace with ie7 if u want people to view it with ie7.
when i edited my myspace wit firefox it came out all confuzzled when viewing in ie7
people who view it with firefox will also be able to view it
this may seem like firefoxes fault but its not, trust me.
im doing i webdesign course and when i design websites with dreamweaver(webdesign software)
and preview it with ie7 everything is not in the place it should be,
and when viewed in firefox, everything is perfectly how i put it in dramweaver...
idk if that made sense, but yeah, dont quit firefox, i think its the way forward, but in myspace, edit it with ie7

It shows how to get media player working in IE in Firefox with minimal tags. First off, ditch the classid, you don't need it.
Here's a minimal implementation that I've been testing for some time now on many OSs, different Media Player Versions, in Firefox, IE, Opera and Safari w/o problems (!):
<OBJECT ID='MediaPlayer1' TYPE='application/x-mplayer2' Width='300px' Height='300px' >
<PARAM Name='Src' Value='song file here'>
<PARAM Name='AutoStart' Value='1'>
</OBJECT>
