Chosen solution

Try to disable or remove the Xine plugin and see if you can make Firefox use the Gecko Media Player plugin.
That plugin seems to be more stable and MPlayer supports almost any media file (MIDI is an exception).

Bingo!! Reinstalled Gecko and removed the gxine softwear and it works. Thanks again for taking the time to advise.
