I've created a page in FP 2000 with
background music. If I open the web
page in IE the music plays fine.
If I open it in Mozilla Firefox, No Music.
What do I need to do?

can you provide a link to the offending page?
what is the method you used to include the music, and what file type is the
music in?

Netscape (and Mozilla/firefox and other browsers) do not use IE's HTML
tag for playing sound. You will ned to code for both Netscape and IE if
you want you web pages to function as intended for non-IE browsers.

Do a google search on the subject for sample HTML code.

the info you want is almost at the bottom of the page I gave you the link
to.

I have the same problem

Firefox prompted me to download QuickTime plug in , but all I could find on
the referred site was iTunes with a full Quicktime version (forget which
version number)

I downloaded and installed it, but it makes no difference,

something like a simple background sound shouldn't require something as
"heavy" as QuickTime.

I agree.
It is a bit of a sledgehammer for a small nut.

Since IE plays the background, I must have the software needed. There has to
be some way of linking Firefox to the software, be it QuickTime, Real
Player, or Windows Media Player (I have all 3).

Perhaps this is a question for Firefox. I will search their site for a
"Contact Us''
