Detection fails with firefox 3 with javascript disabled

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install an older player, e.g. 6.0.79.0 up to 8.0.39.0 
1. open Firefox 3 (I tested with 3.0.3)
2. disable javascript
3. visit http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_1/test.html

What is the expected output? 
Correct detection of player 8

What do you see instead?
It seems the flash detection movie is loaded (proved by right clicking) but
nothing happens

What version of the product are you using? 
- your on-line test page
- (for the test) player 6.0.79.0 up to 8.0.39.0 ( I tested several in
between with showed same misbehaviour) 
- Firefox 3.0.3

On what operating system?
- win xp sp3 (tested also on clean install!)

Please provide any additional information below.
I am not sure but could also be a Firefox 3.0.3 bug

As you can read in the documentation [
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation ] SWFObject uses 
JavaScript to
detect Flash Player, so if you switch JavaScript off, it will embed your SWF 
without
detection when using static publishing (you just use the object element by 
itself).

Typically a duh moment? ;-)

Oeps, I thought swfobject would fall back to detection using a swf movie when
JavaScript was disabled. My mistake, sorry ;-)
I am testing several alternatives and mixed up the features of your solution and
others ;-)
