objects in a page don't load correctly.  In some sites, they put <objects width="100%" height="100%"> and then a few <param> tabs, and a <embed> tab that doesn't specify the height and width.  
In firefox, it seems to ignore the whole object tab and param tab, and only reads the bit where it is <embed>, showing the object so small i can't read it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to a site without a <embed> but has <object> and <param>
2.it will display nothing
                 ------or------
1. go to a site that specifies height and width in object tab but not in embed tab
2.  it will display the object at 100 px X 100px
Actual Results:  
displays objects incorrectly or doesn't display

Expected Results:  
displays object at full size.

This is essentially bug 107770, about the width/heights for the <object> not applying to the <embed> element it contains. Since Mozilla only pays attention to the <embed> element when the <object> element contains IE-only plugin markup, you need to specify dimensions on both elements.
