The original also works for me in the most recent Firefox and Mozilla
browsers, but not in Opera. The object tag used for the original has
not worked on some IE variants in the past such as MSN - they would
give you a popup that the code might be harmful! However after sp2 and
countless updates, IE browsers have changed somewhat in how they
respond to this sort of thing. Of course IE likes ActiveX for this sort
of thing.
It is quite possible to have a problem with a QT plugin on Firefox. I
had one for which QT would try to play files, but would not. I had to
do clean uninstalls of both QT and Firefox to get rid of the problem.
Of course with a clean uninstall, you had best have everything of
importance on the browser backed up.
