It is an issue with the site. These POPULAR browsers do not work.
  • Firefox
  • Safari
  • IE11
You need someone to debug the site; that is unlikely to happen here since the site is quite complex. Also this is Firefox support. It is not website support.

Mozilla never comes here, or at least rarely. try: support.mozilla.org (site is down today for maint 4 hrs)

The *.mozillaZine.org site is independent and not a part of nor run by Mozilla and has been around for some six years before Mozilla got their own support site going at support.mozilla.org

Besides Mozilla does not really have a team that spends time each day doing support on forums and such.

Thank you. I actually already tried their site but nobody seems to know either. Seems like I am done for.

Only looked for a moment & there doesn't seem to be much, but maybe something here, http://www.123flashchat.net/?

Failing that, perhaps post the code that does the actual "playing" & maybe someone might see something in there that they recognize isn't compatible with FF?

Code: Select all

Cannot play media. No decoders for requested formats: audio/mpeg; codecs=MP3, audio/mpeg; codecs=MP3, audio/mpeg; codecs=MP3, audio/mpeg; codecs=MP3  123flashchat.html
(Not sure if that is something specific to me, running on XP?)

Send sound, then the "play" icon in that dialog that opened.
I had Error Console open & that turned up. I suppose it was related. (And as I said, it may have to do with XP on my end.)

Same as what's here, http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... #p14796147.
Send Sound, then Say Hello, I think it was.

analyze the mp3 file - which codec is used, how many bits and channels? windows is not able to play mp3 in rare cases with a very limited codec, eg 11khz mono, 64kbp/s

I tried with different mp3 files and none of them work. The problem is that I get no errors on the console which would help pinpoint the culprit.

Don't waste your time mate
at least i lost the link deleted above.
as long there is nothing to test provided this discussion is pointless - for the public.

asking for conversion? poor admin skill.
