  Firefox seems to have a problem if there are too many audio player links on a single page. Once that limit is reached, all the audio players on the page stop working. Firefox seems to be downloading the file, but the audio player won’t play it–just shows “Buffering…” forever.

  I’m still working on this but it looks like about 15 instances of the audio player on a single page causes this problem. IE does not appear to have this issue.

  Can we have a link to your blog please, beginning with http:// ? Without it we can’t examine the problem further and only make educated guesses.

  FF eats Memory like nothing. I believe it just balloons with so many instances of flash objects loaded.

  I have confirmed that Firefox can only handle a maximum of 15 instances of audio player on a single page. When I add one more all the audio players on the page stop working.

  I also tried it with Firefox 3, Beta 5 and had the same problem.
