Webpage hangs on playing background music

[ToeCurler]

Ububtu gutsy gibon with the most recent updates.
Firefox version 2.0.0.12.

I build some websites where "background sound" is being played on several differend pages.
fter some "Googling" I found a piece of html code that plays background sound in IE as well in Firefox. See code below:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {
document.write('<bgsound src="Music.mp3" LOOP="false">');
}
else {
document.write('<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" Name="MediaPlayer" src="fill place.mp3" AutoStart="true" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowControls="0" ShowDisplay="0" volume="1" HEIGHT="1" WIDTH="1" loop="false"><br>');
}
// End -->
</script>

This works OK in IE. However in Firefox background music plays correct only when started 1 time on the first webpage that is opened.
If one jumps to and fro between pages with background music the "download cursor style" keeps there forever. You have to restart Firefox to solve this.
My suspision is that Firefox starts downloading the player-plugin 2 or more times after each other thereby overwriting itself.

Seems to work fine for me.

I use firefox and I guess it is played using xine or some other native plugin?

Sorry but Firefox-2 is getting near EOS and they wont be fixing anything but major issues security issues mainly. Please try to reproduce this with Firefox-3.0 if you can reproduce this bug please click on Help > Report a problem and file the bug that way. This does not mean that it wasn't already fixed.
