Autoshapes are a bad idea. They're really only supported by IE. If you
know that you will have visitors using other types of browsers (Kudos to you
for testing in Moz/Opera/NS, by the way!), then you're best bet is to avoid
them entirely.

Instead, create images in an external image editing program, such as
Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro, (heck, even MS Paint if
you're in a bind...), import them into your website and place them on the
page.

Good luck!
