My firefox version is 3.0.11 which is current. I tried redownloading it and nothing changed. I reloaded the firefox default style/skin and there was no change, and still no player.

I took a screen shot of what it looks like when I'm viewing your mod from my end. If you compare my image attachment to yours, you will notice there is some differences. My image looks more squeezed compared to yours. Look at the "Not Working?, Who like it?, and Option section on both images.

I hope this can get straightened out. If this mod requires my members to add extensions or plug-ins to their browsers I will of coarse have to not use the mod.

Oh don't worry about the compact of blocks and letters on your view because my screen stretches at 1600x900 so there it makes the difference , just a bit more space on the horizon.

I hope this can get straightened out. If this mod requires my members to add extensions or plug-ins to their browsers I will of coarse have to not use the mod.
Unfortunately, this MOD requires Windows Media Plugin plugin and Adobe Flash Player plugin to display the player, which are 2 of the most common browser plugins on the entire Internet. Everyone who has once visit youtube for a clip has Adobe Flash player plugin, everyone who has Windows Media player on their machine or Quicktime on Mac, you be able to play the audio files with the supported plugin.

In your case, it is a client bug as I mention earlier. Luckily, it is a known bug : http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=532652 , you can take a look of that or try the Portable firefox 3.0.11 or Firefox 3.5, on other hand I will take note of this and getting ready for an option to switch to a different audio player for those who cant get the regular media plugin to work properly.

Ok I'm now able to view it after installing the firefox 3.5 beta version. I also found this bit of info that could be used as a reference.

"WMP plugin is hard-coded to only play the proprietary Microsoft formats (.asf, .asx, .wm, .wma, .wax, .wmv, and .wvx), and Windows Media Player provides no provision for changing this. For the most common formats found on the web (like mp3, midi, mpg, wav, etc.) you will need to install and configure Quicktime or Quicktime Alternative."
