That's not correct.  The "type" attribute of "object" refers to the type
of the resource referred to by the "data" attribute.

What Firefox version?

Does "about:plugins" show a plug-in for that type?

You should also make sure your server is sending the correct
Content-Type.  I think with recent Firefox versions, the Content-Type
sent by the server will supersede the "type" attribute.  This is the
correct behavior.
