Firefox ignores any <object> that includes a classid="CLSID:..." attribute. That is a references to the Windows registry, and isn't cross-platform compatible.
You can change your <object> to use a type attribute that invokes Windows Media Player, or you can use the old hack of nesting an <embed> inside the <object> (very common with Flash).
So for example:
<object height="119" width="600" align=absmiddle type="application/x-mplayer2" data="http://69.175.13.130:8320/" name="wmtplayer" style="filter:red() alpha(style=2 opacity=100 finishopacity=25 startx=0 starty=0 finishx=100 finishy=100) invert()">
<param name="src" value="http://69.175.13.130:8320/">
<param name="url" value="http://69.175.13.130:8320/">
<param name="rate" value="1">
<param name="balance" value="0">
<param name="currentposition" value="0">
<param name="defaultframe" value="">
<param name="playcount" value="3">
<param name="autostart" value="-1">
<param name="currentmarker" value="0">
<param name="invokeurls" value="-1">
<param name="baseurl" value="">
<param name="volume" value="50">
<param name="mute" value="0">
<param name="uimode" value="full">
<param name="stretchtofit" value="-1">
<param name="windowlessvideo" value="0">
<param name="enabled" value="-1">
<param name="enablecontextmenu" value="-1">
<param name="fullscreen" value="0">
<param name="samistyle" value="full">
<param name="samilang" value="">
<param name="samifilename" value="">
<param name="enableerrordialogs" value="0">
<param name="_cx" value="5424">
<param name="_cy" value="7091">
</object>
This is not to say that all those params work on Firefox, because it uses a different plugin than the ActiveX control used in IE, but it's a start.

1. Install plugin for Windows Media Player normally, from this link: http://port25.technet.com/pages/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download.aspx 2. Go to program files in windows 7 click on computer/hard disk drive/program files (x86)/Mozilla firefox/ 3. Copy folder plugin 4. Open Firefox 5. Click on help/troubleshooting/information/ 6. In the list under Application Basics find Profile Directory 7. Click on (open containing folder) 8. Paste plugin folder. 9. Close Firefox. 10. Restart Fire fox then visit a site with embedded videos. It will work.

Okay everything works on the browser now, this was very helpfull tyvm, now the current issue that I am having is, because of microsofts lack of intergration with H264 , mp4 and AAC+ COMPRESSION, until windows 7, those using windows XP and Vista, cannot hear a AAC Broadcast, from this player, from what I understand there is a conversion that can be embeded to change an AAC broadcast to a mp3 broadcast invoked by the player? so anyone can hear what is being played by the player, has anyone heard of such a thing?
