    I've installed Flip4Mac and I still can't listen to music that's using the WMP plugin on Firefox. I can't see the play, pause, etc. controls on the website. Sometimes, the music would play, but most of the time it won't. If it does play, I still can't see the controls for it.

    Actually, it always works when I use it on my windows desktop. Is it maybe because I'm using 3.1 Beta 3?

    it doesn't work properly in FF,
    if you really need it, use Safari, it works perfectly..
