Well, no one responded to my question, but after several hours of banging my
head against a wall, I figured out the problem, so I thought I'd update
here.
I was missing the "name" attribute in the <embed> tag. Apparently IE keys
of the "id" attribute of the <object> tag, but FF looks for "name".

Ack! What happened? This used to work, didn't it?
I'm getting an error with ExternalInterface in Firefox:
thisMovie("ExternalInterfaceExample").fromJS is not a function
This happens even when I try to run the simple example from the Flash 8
Essentials book.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I've been searching around for an
hour for an answer, and come up empty. :(
JS CODE:
function thisMovie(movieName)
{
if (isIE())
{
return window[movieName]
}
else
{
return document[movieName]
}
}
function isIE()
{
return navigator.appName.indexOf ("Microsoft") != -1;
}
// This function will call the ActionScript function "fromJS"
function makeCall(str)
{
thisMovie("ExternalInterfaceExample").fromJS(str);
}
// This function "fromAS" will be called from ActionScript
function fromAS(str)
{
document.inForm.inField.value = str;
}
