swf doesn't load in firefox?

[MrMulti]

I took over maintenance on a website that has swf menus. 2 problems:

1. in IE, they need to be clicked twice...once to "activate", then once to
go to the link
2. in firefox, the first swf loads, and then when you click a menu choice it
goes in one click, but the swf on the target page never loads.

I heard that firefox needs embad tags, but I 've never used them.

ok the swf thing was easy - it was a typo in the swf names. But is there an
answer to number one?

Isn't this scheduled to be pushed via Windows Update in April?
