How can I fix a website that's not compatible with Firefox?
I work with a website (www.cumctopeka.org) which seems to have compatibility issues with Firefox. I upload audio files through the program FileZilla, and through the website designer Bridge Element (www.bridgeelement.com). Recently the problem has occurred that when audio files are uploaded, they are played as video files through Firefox. Internet Explorer is able to play the files, but not Firefox. I've contacted Bridge Element's tech support several times and they finally said it was a Codec issue with Firefox and some Windows OS. I've personally been able to use Firefox on cumctopeka.org on a Windows 8 and everything works as it should, but then another WIndows 8 laptop will have issues.
The audio files can be found here: http://cumctopeka.org/~cumctope/sermon-series.php
Any help available...?

I think this is normal, actually. When you load an MP3 "full tab" with the content type audio/mpeg Firefox does use the "video" tag. I think this is left over from a time when there were some limits on the controls of the audio tag.
Anyway, if you want more control over the choice and appearance of the player, you would need to embed a player in your list page.
Edit: fixed typo.

I should note that there are a range of possible settings that could turn off native playing of MP3s on Windows, so individual users may have different experiences with direct links to MP3s.
