Steps to reproduce:

Actual results:

The page is displayed correctly on the screen, but clicking "Stimuli" does nothing.  The same problem happens on Chrome.
Konqueror works properly.

Expected results:

Clicking "Stimuli" causes a sound file to be heard.

The page uses a plug-in for video/quicktime type to play wav file.

> <object id="id2" type="video/quicktime" data="Media/top20_sounds.wav" style="height: 16px; left: 131px; position: absolute; top: 21px; width: 300px; z-index: 1; " height="16" width="300">

I guess Konqueror uses kmplayer plug-in to play video/quicktime.
You have libkmplayerpart.so for video/quicktime type in about:plugins page in Konqueror, right?

Then, it looks like kmplayer plug-in is not compatible with firefox.
you'll need some other plug-in that can handle video/quicktime type (I don't know if there is any tho).

also, you could use MediaPlayerConnectivity Add-on [1] to launch other player.

Closing old bugs because non-Flash plugins are no more.
