Loading the following page into either IE or Firefox results in a page with speaker icons. Clicking on the speaker icons in IE results in the word being played through the PC speakers in IE, but results in nothing in Firefox.

I downloaded Quickplayer as one of the help suggestions suggested to create a sound plug in, but that didn't work. I can happily play Youtube videos through Firefox, so it has to be something to do with the control on the page and Firefox's support for such.

Any help much appreciated.

Works for me on Linux with the Gecko Media player (QuickTime) plugin.

That button tries to play an MP3 file, so you need a plugin that can handle such a file and MIME type type="audio/mpeg" 

<object data="/mp3/E131080.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" style="position:fixed; width:0px; height:0px;">
<param name="hidden" value="true">
<param name="controller" value="false">
<param name="type" value="audio/mpeg">
<param name="src" value="/mp3/E131080.mp3">
<param name="autoplay" value="true">
<param name="autostart" value="1">
</object>
