Outdated: Displaying Images as "object" Elements on Firefox 3

This section provides a tutorial example on how Firefox 3 renders images specified in 'object' elements.

To see how Firefox handles the <object> elements with image files as "data" values, I opened object_gif.html created in the previous section with Firefox 3 as local file and got this result:

Images as OBJECT Elements - FireFox
Images as OBJECT Elements - FireFox

What I learned from the result:

However, when I uploaded object_gif.html to my Apache Web server and open it remotely, Firefox 3 was able to render the image in test 2 correctly!

So what is the difference between opening object_gif.html as a local file and as a remote Web page? Why Firefox behaves differently?

Here is my guess:
