the HTML of said video is this

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="320" height="240" id="player1" align="middle"> 
<param name="movie" value="razor_test.swf"/> 
<param name="quality" value="High"/> 
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"/> 
<param name="play" value="false">
<param name="loop" value="false">
<noscript><a href="http://newfreescreensavers.com/download-free-screensavers.html">screensavers free</a></noscript> 
<embed src="razor_test.swf" menu="true" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="320" height="240" name="player" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"/> 
</object>  

in IE it works like a charm. does not auto play, does not loop and waits for me to right click on it to play/loop

in mozzila it does autoplay, it does loop, unless the user right cliks it to stop auto play and loop. it starts as soon as the page finishes loading.'bold text'

mozzila also seems to be unable to play bacground sounds from webpages, and IE can.

Your EMBED code doesn't have the play and loop parameters (not sure if embed support those).

Maybe use an object instead for Firefox.

BGSOUND doesn't work in Firefox: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Background_music_does_not_play

You need to use an object instead:

<object data="music.mp3" type="application/x-mplayer2" width="0" height="0"><param name="filename" value="music.mp3"> <param name="autostart" value="1">
</object>


Or:

<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="file.mp3" height="0" width="0" autostart="1">
<noembed><bgsound src="file.mp3" loop=-1></noembed>
