Audio samples on BBC Radio 1 Top 40 charts not working in Firefox

Hi..
I'm having trouble playing music samples on the BBC Radio 1 UK Top 40 web page:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/singles
There is a play icon for each song but when pressed, an exclamation mark appears. This happens for all the songs. I've tried running FF in Safe Mode but that didn't solve things. I'm able to listen without any problems using IE as well as Chrome but I'd rather just use FF.
I'm using FF v36.0.1, although this problem has been present for a while. Windows 7 x64 with SP1 and all updates.
Any advice or suggestions would be great.
Thanks :)
Just to add the other BBC news/radio/sports/video players appear to be working as normal on FF...it's just these short snippets which aren't co-operating.

It is an MP3 clip served using the content type audio/mpeg. If you use this test page, can you play the MP3 clip: http://hpr.dogphilosophy.net/test/
Firefox doesn't have the built-in ability to decode MPEG media. Instead, it uses Media Foundation (part of Windows) or if that isn't available, DirectShow (an older Windows technology). These are enabled by default, but sometimes are disabled by users who prefer to download MP3 media instead of playing it in the browser.
You can check the settings here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''media''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If the '''media.directshow.enabled''' preference is bolded and user set to false, double-click it to switch it back to true.
(4) If the '''media.windows-media-foundation.enabled''' preference is bolded and user set to false, double-click it to switch it back to true.
If you changed these settings, does that make any difference?

  • Audio player not working in Firefox 8.0.1 on Windows 7 64-bit

    Audio players, like the ones on this page, will not play in Firefox 8.0.1 on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit machine. They play in every other browser, including Firefox 8.0.1 on my Windows XP Pro 32-bit machines.
    Any suggestions toward troubleshooting this will be greatly appreciated!

    All iPhones come with a 1 year warranty. Since the iPhone 5 was released less than a year ago, it should be under warranty provided it's not hacked, jailbroken, physically damaged or modified, or stolen.
    As it turns out, that last item on KiltedTim's list is not a factor as regarding warranty service. The only time it comes up is when the item was stolen from the Apple Store.  In the technical legal sense, taking it to the Genius Bar is returning it to the owner.

  • Flash audio not working in Firefox 31.0

    Flash audio works in Chromium. Have tried the following with no success:
    - Resetting Firefox
    - Reinstalling Flash plugin
    Thanks for taking your time to help me out.
    EDIT:
    I noticed in about:plugins a listing for "FutureSplash Player". Perhaps that has something to do with the problem?

    On Linux Adobe has stopped supporting Flash for Firefox.
    There are only security updates of Flash 11.2 available.
    If web pages require a more recent Flash version then they won't work with Firefox and you would have to use Google Chrome.
    Does this happen with all pages that use the Flash plugin?
    Did you check if the player has a volume slider?
    You can check for issues with cookies and "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Edit > Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    You can try to clear the Flash local storage and settings.

  • Top Nav buttons not working after publish, but works in app. WHY?

    I have tried to find out why these buttons will not work after publishing. They work fine while in the iWeb app, but not when publishing. I do not have any objects near the top nav buttons. The first site went off without a hitch
    <www.serenitycustompools.net> the second site began the problem with the last page, the nav buttons would not work. Now this 3rd site, none of the nav buttons at top will work after publish, but will work in app. Anyone else having the same probs? None of my pages have the same names or any punctuation marks, and they are simple one word named pages.
    mini intel   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    They all work for me, try clearing your browser cache or using another browser.

  • Perssonas not being displays - Themes are but top of window not colour and firefox button not shown correctly

    I have installed the personnas plus add on and have tried to select several different personnas (e.g. Earth from space etc.) but none of them appear to be displayed. The window remains its default light blue.
    I am not aware that i have installed anything else which could have affected this situation.
    When attempting to apply a full theme the very top bar of the window (with minimize, exit etc.) is also not coloured as it should be - see the theme FT Deep Dark 5.6 for example. And the firefox button has an orange 'fuzzy' ' glitchy' border around it still.
    Cheers if anyone knows anyway around this problem :>

    hello Kirie_kore, it is a known issue that light-weight themes are currently not shown when firefox is set to ''never remember history'' (a.k.a. always run in private browsing mode) in firefox/tools > options > privacy. this will be corrected in the upcoming firefox release.

  • Dongle top up card not working

    I took my HUWAEI dongle into an EE store and they said I needed to phone up to get the number for it. I did and I paid £15 to be put on the top up card. It turns out the number they gave me was not the same as the dongle number and did not work so I went back today. On the phone they said EE store should be able to swap the £15 top up card to a ETU card with the correct dongle number. They gave me a new card with the correct number but when I plugged the dongle in it says there's no credit? It comes up with the tmobile site and I can only click top up which you need the internet for and I don't have wifi hence the dongle! Can someone from EE put the £15 I have paid onto my dongle using it's sim number perhaps?

    Hi 
    Welcome to the EE Community!
    Sorry but we don't have access to individual accounts.
    You would need to pop back to the store ot Contact Us.
    Thanks. 

  • Internet radio from Apple TV suddenly not working!!! Please help!

    I used to be able to put internet radio stations in a playlist and sync to ATV, and they would show up on the ATV and I could select and listen to them! From what I've read on some other forums, after version 2.02 came out, you could even do that and not have your computer on and itunes open, and could still access and listen to the radio stations on ATV! Which is great!
    I hadn't tried this in a while and decided to get the 2.02 update and try. Now, when I select the playlist with the radio stations in it (on ATV) I get a message - "contains no songs"!!
    Does anybody know what is going on with this feature? It seems to work for some people but not others! Some think that it stopped working for people with itunes 7.6.1 and higher!! (I have 7.6.2 and OSX 10.4.11)
    Just when I had a plan on really taking advantage of this feature, it stopped working!
    Can anybody help with this topic? Do people from Apple read and answer these posts?
    Thanks,
    SB

    Wow! That surprised me! I had already tried something very similar to that, and it didn't work!
    What you said works! Thanks so much!
    And in addition, playing the internet radio from my ATV (rather than from computer & thru airtunes) seems to work better! Before, (using airtunes), some stations would cut out / skip etc... and it doesn't seem to happen now! And I can now, not even have my computer on!
    My understanding is that if I ever turn off the ATV, I'll have to do the procedure that you said again correct?
    Thanks so much again!
    It would be nice if Apple could now have the details / info that shows up in itunes when you play a internet radio station (song info etc...) show up on the screen on ATV - right?!!!
    (for me, right now - just says: "Proton Radio - unknown album")

  • Fox Tabs and Add To Top Sites is not working. All my tabs have disppeared right after upgrading. Help!

    I upgraded to 11.0 and clicked to open tabs, which will take me to Fox Tabs, but I was unable to click any open. When I clicked Edit, every thing disappeared. When I clicked Done, the screen stated "Saving..." and it stayed like that for more than 5 minutes. I closed that tab and again clicked Open tabs, this time it was blank. When I right click on any page and chose Add To Top Sites nothing appears on Top Sites. I have made this my Home Page and when I click home, Fox Tabs is still blank.

    Hi,
    You can try to '''Remove''' and then install FoxTab via '''Tools''' ('''Alt '''+ '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Extensions'''. You can search for FoxTab on the top right search box and install it or install it from the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxtab/?src=search AMO homepage].

  • My dad has a Sony shortwave radio, the ICF2010, that is not working and in need of repair. Help!

    Does this radio still qualify for the Sony exchange program?  Or would I need to send it in somewhere for repair?
    Thanks!
    Dan

    Hello Unadan,
    If the device is still recognized by the website. https://eservice.sony.com/webrma/web/index.do web you should still be sent an exchange unit. However, there is no guarantee if the exchange would still be the same model given it has been a while since the unit was made. You may be sent a comparable or closest model, might also be a newer one.
    Best Regards,
    Farley 

  • When I close the last tab I am sent to my desk top and do not stay on Firefox, but if I hit the open button again it says Firefox is running??

    This started this last weekend. When I close the last tab instead of staying on Firefox it goes directly to my desktop. If I hit the Firefox icon again I get a message saying that Firefox is still running and that I should restart. But if I just hit open again it reopens or shows Firefox home page again. How do I stop this?

    Set the pref browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false on the about:config page to prevent closing the last tab from closing that window, you need to use "File > Close Window" or the close X on the title bar.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.
    You may need to wait a bit longer before restarting Firefox.

  • Sound buttons on top of keyboard not working

    For some reason the keys F10, F11, and F12 are no longer working to increase, decrease or mute the volume. I just got the computer, and it was working fine a little while ago. I think I may have messed with something and now I don't know what I did. Does anyone know how to reactive these buttons?
    Additionally how do I check to see if the F7,8,and 9 buttons are working to pause, play, rewind and fast-forward?
    Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

    Hi,
    Do you hear any sound at all atm? It could be that your macbook thinks you want to use the digital audio output. This is the case if there is a red light emerging from your audio out hole. If you want to fix this you can try to insert a wooden toothpick and try to push the switchback that detects if there are external boxes plugged in. Or take the save way and take it to the apple store.
    kind regards,

  • Input form on top of navibar not working!

    Dear Forum:
    I am building a website with iWeb 09. I want to have a login form on the top write corner of the site. I wrote the correspondent HTML code on a HTML widget and simply draged the whole onto the desired position. When I upload/publish it seems that the form is converted to image. It loses it's input features.
    Would be very thankful for some help.
    best,

    A iWeb page consist of 4 areas :
    a navigation-layer, a header-layer, a body-layer and a footer-layer.
    Do Command-Shift-L to see them.
    If an object is partially displayed in another area it may be covered by objects in that area. Or it may cover other objects itself. Notibly the links in the nav-bar.
    Besides that, objects are also layered relative to each other.
    You can change the position of an object by moving it to the front or back or forward/backward.
    You do so with the commands in the Arrange menu.
    But you cannot move an object behind or in front of an object in another layer. And you cannot move a whole layer in front or behind another layer.
    See this article : [The Z-Index CSS Property: A Comprehensive Look|http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/09/15/the-z-index-css-property-a-comp rehensive-look>
    In your case, your HTML Snippet may be covered by other objects in the same layer or objects in one of the others.
    HTML Snippets never become images.
