ull_300.asx" WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="300" AUTOSTART="FALSE">
</EMBED> 

it always autostarts...it ignores the portion of the code that says ... 
AUTOSTART = "FALSE"

there by when going to a page with multiple pieces of media on one page... all 
the media plays at once, creating a horrible sound of 20 songs smushed 
togeather.

Reproducible: Always

3.run the page, and u will see what im talking about

set to false, else if it is set to true, play the media upon loading.

This is confirmed. Mozilla isn't casting "TRUE" or "FALSE" to 1 or 0.

As a workaround, use 0 or 1 instead of "false" or "true" for the <embed> statement.

this shouldn't have been confirmed, it's not a mozilla bug. report a bug to microsoft or whoever produced the plugin.
