Why has it become impossible to embed music in web pages ?
In previous versions of Firefox, the "embed" HTML code allowed to play Quicktime musical files when displaying web pages with Firefox. It seems to-day impossible to do so, nothing seems to work while it works fine with Internet Explorer...

Can you post a link or post the code that is used to play this music?
Addendum :
Hereunder an example of code that worked fine in previous versions of Firefox !
Thanks again for your support !

<EMBED SRC="../cartes email/paques/musique/funnybun.mid" HIDDEN="true" LOOP="-1" AUTOSTART="true">
Remove the hidden=true attribute if you want the content to play. You can hide the player controls if you absolutely have to, but there will be an empty space on the page where the player controls normally would be.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en-us"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>MIDI test</title> </head> <body> <embed type="audio/mid" src="http://www.free-midi.org/midi1/b/bastille-pompeii.mid" style="visibility: hidden" loop="-1" autostart="true"> </body> </html>
Note that hiding a media player can be considered as bad practice because that makes it impossible for visitors to stop the sound in case they are listening to other music or just do not want sound playing at all.
Thank you, but this code doesn't work, neither with Firefox nor Internet Explorer...

This code works just fine with Internet Explorer. With Mozilla Firefox, I sometimes get a message telling me that Firefox is missing a QuickTime module...
Note : the QuickTime add-on module has been loaded in Firefox and is permanently active...
Read : the QuickTime plug-in has been active in Mozilla Firefox since the very beginning... (QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.5 7.7.5.0)

It worked for me in Firefox 28, Internet Explorer 8 and Chrome 34, with QuickTime 7.7.5.0.
Hi,
I appreciate your help very much, but what you say sounds like a miracle !
I have the latest versions of both Firefox (28.0) and QuickTime (7.7.5 1680.95.13) and... no way ! Doesn't work here !
Note : I created a new html page with your whole code in order to be sure there wouldn't be any difference...
Can you post the code that you used or post a link to a test page?
