Why Firefox 3.6 won't fallback to Flowplayer (or Flash) when non-supported format is detected? (Shows X on Firefox)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Onload page with .mp3 file on firefox browser 3.6.8, it just shows and 'x'
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect .mp3 files to fallback to flowplayer if it is non supported format 
with firefox 3.6.8

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using version Version 1.6.2 on wordpress 3.0.
I have checked this issue on Linux OS and Windows, still this same problem

Please provide any additional information below.

I have gone through the faq where i saw same problem and i followed the howto 
but no solution yet. Link

Firefox does not fallback to flash even if a non-supported format is detected, 
your could either use JavaScript to force fallback which I have a hard time 
finding myself, or a better way would be to include Vorbis in an Ogg container 
alongside mp3.

{{{
[audio]
{
"src":["example.oga",
"example.mp3"]
}
[/audio]
}}}

You welcome

The code goes into either the blog post or the blog page, take no notice of 
`{{{` and `}}}`.

By saying blog post I was referring to Posts in admin side navigation, as for 
blog page, Pages in admin side navigation.  The code goes into the content 
(body) of post or page.  I wouldn't recommend force fallback as JavaScript is a 
client-side language that can be disabled by the client therefore killing force 
fallback, I would suggest another alternative which would be to have flowplayer 
first then html5 audio as fallback and is still compatible with mobile devices.

[flowplayer]
{"audio":{
"url":"example.mp3"}
}
[/flowplayer]

Alternatively you can also upgrade to 1.7.0 and then activate the plugin "HTML5 
Video and Audio Framework Force-Fallback to Flash".
