Well Moz, what do you suggest is the ... " proper manner for
web standard compliant browsers"... ? I've looked for alternatives for
...."onMouseOver=playsound('sounds/clink-intermed-476.wav')"... and
...".MM_controlSound('play','document.CS1068074911 200','sounds/tick_009%5B1%5D.wav')"...

Not since I successfully installed quicktime 6.5.1 ...AGAIN.
But firefox STILL does NOT play the MouseOver and MousClick sounds as
it should, and as IE does.

I checked with my ISP, and there is NO problem from their end.
Have you come across any other HTML sites with MouseOver and/or
MouseClick and/or background music, that Firefox displays embedded and
seamlessly? If so, what is the Javascript?

I've been to two site this morning which have had the same issue.
One of the sites had the navigation text all jumbled up so it was
unreadable - that site was a Firefox extensions page!

If these sorts of issues don't get ironed out soon, then folk will not
be bothering with Firefox - I'm already finding myself using IE6 again a
lot more than I used to since making the switch.

Why don't you provide links to these problem sites. They may not be a
problem for every Firefox user.

Try this Dave: open Apple Quicktime, Edit ---> Preferences
---> Quicktime Preferences ---> MIME. Now check MP3 and leave WAV,
AIFF, MPEG unchecked. That seems to do the trick for me as far as the
MISSING PLUGIN message for the www.tiferetorganic.com site. Cheers.

They may THINK there is no problem, but if they are not providiing the
file in the proper mime format, it will NEVER work with web standard
compliant browsers!

The only time it hasnt worked properly is when pages are coded for IE
and IE alone (usually with improper mimetypes).
