Firefox doesn't support MP3. It won't show the fallback message because it supports the audio tag. https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Media_formats_supported_by_the_audio_and_video_elements#MPEG_H.264_(AAC_or_MP3)

You can't play MP3 files with such a code in Firefox.

I was adding audio to an HTML5 website. The audio works fine with FireFox and IE but does not show up and play in FireFox. Any ideas why and solution? Thanks in advance.

Well, it should show it up on apptec.net/test3 as it has both mp3and ogg embedded in it.

I can see the controls on your site (using Firefox 12) but I'm not sure how this is supposed to work: <source type="audio/ogg" src="mylife.mp3"></source>

I think you mistyped the code. Its properly closed in the website.

I meant the type being audio/ogg but the src still being mp3. If it was a real ogg file it would probably play in Firefox.

Oh, my bad. There should have been .ogg there. Works now.
