Could be a problem with running 64bit build and a 32bit Plugin

Srinivas, can you run Firefox in 32-bit mode, by changing the properties in Finder? I think this is probably just that you don't have a 64-bit realplayer plugin available.

Can confirm issue on Ubuntu 10.04 32bit.
Going to http://www.film.com/movies/mediaplayback/tangled-2010/41117030 , displays the embedded RealPlayer, but it does not play anything.

The video is not opened inside the browser, the RealPlayer application is being opened. Still, it does not play anything.

I tried this on 10.5.8 and 10.6.6 and what I found was that if you download the RealPlayer installer, and drag the extracted app onto the Applications folder, and relaunch the browser in either mode (32/64bit) the plugin doesn't load.
If you download installer, extract it, drag it onto the Applications folder, and run it first by double clicking, and then relaunch the browser, then the plugin loads when you visit the examples in comment #0 and comment #3.
Further, if you run Fx in 64bit mode (on 10.6.6), the plugin isn't embedded, but instead launches an external player. If you run it in 32bit mode on either OS version, then the plugin is embedded.
I don't know that this should block, but the support page should be revised to explain how to properly install the plugin.

The issue described in Comment 6 is reproducible on latest Firefox 27 beta 9 (20140123185438) on Mac 10.6.8, 10.8.5 and 10.9.1 on both 32 and 64 bit.
The same behavior is encounter also on latest Aurora (2014-01-23) and latest Nightly (2014-01-23): the embedded videos are not being played in-browser, but if the external player is launched automatically, then the video is loaded and played back properly.
