Video and audio players will not show in Firefox. Players show in Safari and Chrome. (Mac computers). Do I need a plug-in?

Tested on 3 apple mac computers:

Mac Pro, Mini Mac and Macbook Pro.

Each computer running Mountain Lion and Firefox 11.8.800.94

Video and audio players not showing on website (video player is JWPlayer)

Error on video player placeholder says 'No video with supported format and MIME type found'

When the same site is access via either Chrome or Safari then the video and audio players show with all of the controls.

Seems like you have all the plugins you need.... also attempt to troubleshoot the mimetypes.rdf file in the profile folder...

You get this error if the video tag is used and not an object or embed tag that specifies a Flash player.
So this doesn't look like a problem with the Flash player as it is most likely not used in this case.
If there is fall back code to use a Flash player then it isn't working.
