i'm not sure why but. The swf file on the top right corner and the embeded windows media player are displaying in IE but not in firefox? Why is this browser have so many missing features or bad translation as oppossed to IE?

Reproducible: Always

From page source code:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="586" height="186">

Note the bad embed src (a '/' is missing). And the small wmp "limelight" appears but don't play on both 1.5.0.5 RC and IE (file not found probably)

 -> WORKSFORME
