MP3 plugin controls not visible in Firefox 9

I have some MP3 files embedded on my website. When I browse to the site in Internet Explorer, the files show up complete with controls (play, pause, etc.). For the longest time, they've also worked in Firefox but now that I have upgraded to Firefox 9, the controls disappear. The files play properly if the autoplay is enabled, so the plugin seems to still work. Just no controls. So I downgraded back to Firefox 3.6 and presto, the controls show up again. I tested with other extensions (.wav and .ogg) and they all have the same issue with the controls not being visible in FF9. Any ideas?

Does it help if you disable the VLC plugin?

Some further info: I am running XP and the plugin controls disappear between FF 6.0.2 and 7.0. I checked my laptop running Windows 7 and the plugin controls don't even show up in FF 3.6!
