I put a WAV file on a page that I created in Frontpage. Uploaded fine but
the WAV does not play with the MOZ browser, but plays fine with the IE.  The
file is 1.75mb.

Any suggestions?

a) If it starts playing automatically, dont allow it to, many
disadvantages [google it]
b) Dont use the bgsound tag, it is IE only and non-standard, use the
object tag [see <url:http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=object+wav /> ]
c) Dont use Frontpage, it creates what is known as MSHTML, this is
not "standards compliant" and fails in other non-IE browsers such as
Opera, Firefox, Mozilla, Seamonkey, K-Meleon, Konqueror, Safari,
Lynx, etc etc etc. See <url:http://w3.org/MarkUp/> for why standards
are important, and <url:http://w3.org/Consortium/> for an
introduction to who the W3C are [They set the standards relating to
HTML, CSS, XHTML, etc].
A free, Open Source alternative that is known to produce standards
compliant HTML n CSS is NVU <url:http://nvu.com/> .
d) Make sure that you validate all of your html pages with
<url:http://validator.w3.org/> - The W3C HTML Validator.

also:
e) wav is uncompressed audio, meaning that it will take quite a
while to load and play/stream it on slower connections, consider
encoding the wav file in the ogg, wma or mp3 format. A converter
such as <url:http://musicmatch.com/> can do this for you.
