Audio player not working in Firefox 8.0.1 on Windows 7 64-bit

Audio players, like the ones on this page, will not play in Firefox 8.0.1 on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit machine. They play in every other browser, including Firefox 8.0.1 on my Windows XP Pro 32-bit machines.

Any suggestions toward troubleshooting this will be greatly appreciated!

Completely uninstalled flash using the adobe uninstaller, rebooted, deleted everything in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash and C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash, ran the 64-bit installer for firefox, and still no joy. Checked all my FF settings seem OK.

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Works perfectly fine for me on Firefox 8.0.1 and Waterfox 8.0.1 on Windows 7 Pro x64.

What do you see when clicking Play on a sound file on that page you linked?

When I hover over the "play" arrow it flickers between black and white. Normal behavior is to turn solid white. When I click the "play" arrow nothing happens.

FWIW, same behavior in Waterfox 8.0.1.
