In my old machine, using Win 98, all was fine with the older Mozilla. My
motherboard cooked and I had the shop make me a new machine with an AMD chip,
and had them put in Win XP. I loaded the latest new Mozilla at the time and also
Firefox and did not realize at first, but do now, that I was not getting ANY
audio from any imbedded sound effects from any website. On another item, the
newest Mozilla is FABULOUS and much better than last year's edition1 WOW!
Separate programming such as audio from internet on line radio stations are fine
as always but the embedded sound on a website is gone. I do a couple of websites
locally for Rotary clubs and tested my own sites - again, they play fine with
(YUK!) Explorer, but not with Mozilla or with Firefox. I could not find this
reported on ANY of your "read these first!" sites of other problems.

Any ideas?

This website wants to play a midi-File.
You need a plugin for .mid files such as quicktime.

Install quicktime from here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ and it
should work.
