I listen to WDRM radio via streaming audio while at work. This has worked fine in version 2 of Firefox; does not play, no audio, using version 3.0.5. I tested at home a few weeks back using ver 3.0.1 and found that Clear Channel (WDRM) radio stations did not work but other stations did. Tested with ver 3.0.4 recently and no station's streaming audio would produce an output. Is this a compatiblity issue in Firefox ver 3 or was there something else to do on upgrading to ver 3?

I am not a Microsoft expert; do not know what utility is playing audio. Have WMP ver 11; RealPlayer Enterprise 6.0.11; QT 7.5.5. At home have RealPlayer not the enterprise version

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Firefox Ver 2.0.20
2. Go URL: http://www.wdrm.com
3. Select "Listen Live" button, another window opens for audio, and listen to audio as I am doing now
4. Upgrade to Firefox Ver 3.0.5
5. Go to URL:  http://www.wdrm.com
6. Select "listen live" button on front page, audio window opens but just contains blank area where song info should be - no audio 
7. Reproducible - always

I have the same problem with all my streaming media. After complying with the Need Help instructions in each web site and downloading all plug ins the Media still does not play. All it says is. Now Playing.

Am up to version 3.6.6 of Firefox. The problem cleared at version 3.5.x or 3.6. Am now able to listen to streaming audio on computer using Firefox.
