I am building a web page. When I was editing the page and clicked on browser review, the music I was playing in the background played in ff 3.6.22 and in IE 7. When I uploaded the page to the web for testing, the background music played in IE7 but not ff 3.6.22.

The url for the test page is testpage http://dj-group.org/efm/saints.html

In the process of trying to figure this out, I updated my plugins, all but one successfully. Java would not install because an error message said there was a syntax error. (Since I ran the installer from the Firefox download screen and not through the command line, I tried to contact Java only to find out that the only way I can get help is to pay $1/minute. This is ridiculous.)

The test page still works in IE but not ff

Please help

Somehow in the process of updating my plugins, Windows Media got deleted. I reinstalled Windows Media and it's ok.

But I would like to know what to do about the Java
