This pertains to a beta Internet radio page at http://www.radiofreeneptune.com/ with Windows Media Player embedded in the page.

Prior to Forefox 7, browsing the page with Firefox had the correct media player interface appear (black, with blue buttons) as soon as the page loaded. Clicking on Play caused the music to play.

Having updated to Firefox 7, Firefox stops working for about a minute when the page is first accessed (it appears to be buffering a lot of audio). A crude Media Player interface finally appears. Audio starts playing immediately, even though the embedded control has it AutoStart set to false.

FireFox has the Microsoft Windows Media Player for Firefox 1.0.0.8 installed.

Any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks.

Jack

Try to remove the old (Npdsplay dll in the plugins list) WMP plugin in case that is used.

The embed for Firefox has autostart="1" not not autostart=false (0) like the object for IE.
