<head>

<title>Created by Camtasia Studio 2</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<script language=javascript type="text/javascript">
function OnLoad()
{
}
</script>

</head>

Even using an HTML 4.01 Transitional document type, there were lots of attributes flagged that were not recognized. The media code being used may be highly specific, but Firefox does not tolerate sloppy coding.

Your document title states "Created by Camtasia Studio 2" and the call in the media code to a player program may not be installed for Firefox or FF doesn't know where to find it since there is no file type association.

I would recommend finding a generic media code to use. Or contact the people at TechSmith.com for ideas of the problem.

There's not much I can do to check it as the media file path is a relative path and not a full one.
