mp3s not playing in Firefox, but will in Safari

This is a discussion on mp3s not playing in Firefox, but will in Safari within the Adobe Tools forums in category; This likely is not a GoLive issue, still I'm stumped, and an afternoon of searching online hasn't solved my problem. I'm hoping some wise people here can steer me in the right direction. I have a couple of sites (designed with GoLive) that are no longer playing MP3 links in Firefox. You can save/download them, but if you click to hear them, only a few seconds play. If you click on them in Safari tho, they play fine. files on - <http://www.therubble.com/mp3.html> - for instance. These pages have acted fine for years, now they aren't. Any thoughts?...

interesting. How are you setting up you mp3s? I checked some mp3s that I have loaded on my site and they work fine in Firefox so I'm not sure what's wrong with the mp3s on your site.

They are set up in a image map with basically < href="mp3/song1.mp3" > linking to the files.

I should test to see if the image map itself is mucking things, I guess.

What's weird is that the pages (as is) have worked fine for years. Why they aren't working on the current server, I'm not sure. Other pages I've made with files hosted on a different server are working just fine.

The host company, I think, changed their server and some setting a long the way is not copacetic with Firefox (on Mac - haven't test PC + Firefox).

It was suggested that I should add a type tag to all links < href="/mp3/song1.mp3" type="audio/x-mp3" / > and double check the MIME types settings. I'll see if that works, too.

Still, I think at this point I would rather move the sites to a different host than hand re-code a bunch of work all over again.

I always place my mp3s in a quicktime frame
