Flash Player is consistent across browser and operating system. Browsers themselves on the other hand, pick and choose how to implement the HTML specification (and JavaScript and CSS) however they see fit, which is never completely the same as any other implementation, in this case choosing different ways to render plug-in technology. One might even suggest that in this case a specific browser has intentionally diverted from the specification with the direct intent of causing problems with a specific plug-in from a specific vendor. Suddenly opting out of supporting percentage values on the object tag, which has been supported by browsers at large for almost a decade? Really? Yeah, open web! Yeah, standards! I'd also point out that Flash Player 10 is beta software. Regards, Kevin Gerdt,

Turns out that Firefox doesn't like having percentage based sizing on the object tag itself. Set sizing through CSS and you're good to go. Thanks, Kevin Just closing the loop here that this turned out to be a bug with Firefox. Turns out that Firefox doesn’t like having percentage based sizing on the object tag itself.
