My html code for embedding Windows Media Player into a frame recently developed problems in Firefox but not IE 8. The player displays properly at first, but then repositions and resizes. It seems my width setting is honored, but not my height setting. Also, autoplay="false' (or "0") additionally is not honored- the video starts playing after the repositioning and resizing. I have tried different embed code with the same result. I have the correct Windows Media Player Firefox Plug-in and it is up to date. I tried updating to Firefox version 9.0.1, but the problem persists. I've come across web postings positing the plug-in settings are overriding embed code. Any workarounds appreciated. Thank you.
