I am having an issue embedding a video into a landing page. It works fine of my version of Firefox (v18.0.1) but not on my co-workers version of Firefox (18.0.1) nor on another co-workers earlier version of Firefox. We are all successful in viewing the content in IE and Chrome. JavaScript is installed and running on all machines.

Here is the gist of the embed code: 

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www_________________.com/clients/js/embed/embed.js"></script>
<object class="BrightTALKEmbed" width="705" height="660">     
<param name="player" value="channel_player"/>     
<param name="domain" value="https://www._________________.com"/>     
<param name="channelid" value="288"/>    
<param name="communicationid" value="58245"/>     
<param name="autoStart" value="false"/>     
<param name="theme" value=""/> 
</object>

I have the same problem with some videos. If they came from YouTube, I found that I could watch the video on a YouTube page by right-clicking the video item and choosing "Watch on YouTube", then going to the YouTube tab that opens.

Firefox needs a data attribute in the object tag to specify which file to load.
