297631 - <object> tag doesn't work with classid and codebase

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 254483

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Eli Mendez]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050501 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050501 Firefox/1.0+

As you can see on the test page I set up
(http://www.myside-yourside.net/videotest.html) only the object with out the
classid and codebase work, the other reverts to the backup text. These two
things are part of the standard and, even if they don't mean a thing in firefox
should still be able to be used, even if it just ignores their contents.  I have
tested this in other browsers (safari and opera, not IE, I don't have windows),
safari has no problem displaying both, opera just shows a quicktime logo for the
top one but displays the bottom one just fine (which is worse than what firefox
does).  I'm not sure, but I believe that the two things are required by IE, and
thus need to be there.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load page
2.Look at page

Actual Results:  
Top video is not displayed, instead the fallback option is shown, bottom one is
shown just fine.

Expected Results:  
Both should be displayed.
