User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0

It appears Firefox -all versions- , just as Netscape, does not support
Macromedia Flash transparency features. 
The code badly interpreted is : " <param name=wmode value=transparent>". Instead
the transparent color is replaced by some ugly fluo orange color...yikes !

Open www.photos-aix.com in IE to see what it should normally look like.

Thanks for your great job ! Firefox rules !

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open http://www.photos-aix.com in firefox
2.see ugly messy orange color
3.open same url in IE to see the difference.
Actual Results:  
The webpage is actually badly displayed. Flash Transparency is not supported !

Expected Results:  
Background color should have been transparent and not orange.

This transparency bug has been seen under Firefox, Mozilla and even Netscape
(every single version to my knowledge). It's far from being critical- just plain
ugly when displayed.

"Add the following parameter to the EMBED tag:
wmode="transparent" "

-> invalid (And please select the next time the correct Product/component :
