If you try to use <object> mozilla does not show a flash movie. You have to use
<embed>.

Example html code:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0"
width="150" height="400" id="Menu" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="Menu.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#bbafef" />
</object>

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to some page with flash but without embed tag

Actual Results:  
No flash movie is shown although the plugin is installed

Expected Results:  
Show the movie

This is a call to ActiveX.  Since Mozilla doesn't support ActiveX, the OBJECT is
ignored.
