The fact is that firefox and opera do not support mp3 files in html5 audio tag. You can check supported browser in w3schools. Its work around is that you need a fallback flash audio player.

Firefox doesn't support the MP3 format as audio source. If you add a second source file in OGG format, the script should work in Firefox too. See this Link for more info
