Audio Problem

I receive audio just fine from the below listed link when using IE as a
browser, but cannot when using the Firefox browser.
www.lesfemmes.batcave.net
I really like FF, but will have to dump it for IE if I cannot find a
solution to this problem.
Thanks for any info you can give me.

That page uses
<bgsound src="saints.MID" loop=1>

which is a Microsoft ONLY sound enabler. In short the page is coded so
you can ONLY use Microsoft products.

However, there is a way to enable recognition of the tag <bgsound> in
Firefox.

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1765/

Stop Autoplay
It provides a function where you can control embedded music on pages as
well as including a bgsound to embed convertor.
works well on the above page!

Remember to restart after install and to set the controls to show a
controller for the embedded sound (and to convert bgsound as well)

If you are referring to "When the Saints Go Marching In", which
appears in the header in the tag <bgsound src="saints.MID" loop=1>,
bgsound is a non-standard IE only tag. There was an extension
(<https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/146/>), but it's for an older
version of FF. Feel free to search for "firefox bgsound tag" in the
search engine of your choice.

Been there done that Andy, use of Stop Autoplay instead would work.
Besides providing the bgsound to embed function, it also provides a
utility to control embedded sounds in pages. Sure thats more than what
the OP wants, but heck, its a bonus <g>

the site uses the <bgsound> tag which is not standard nor compatible
with Mozilla browsers. There are extensions that offer a fix, one of
which is http://bgmconductor.svist.net/. Others will probably offer
other solutions.
