Note that there's no way your example above could work with Firefox before 3.0, in general. <object> support was pretty much completely rewritten between Firefox 2 and Firefox 3.

This was also the case in Firefox 2, of course. Are there any details anywhere about the exact way that things for "worse" with Firefox 3? Whatever the problem is, I'd like to fix it. -Boris
