Tech: CD Baby: no preview feature on Mac?

On CD Baby, when I click on the icon to preview a track, Firefox tells me (at the bottom of the window) "Waiting for www.cdbaby.com", but I don't get the spinning wheel of actual activity (in the upper right of the browser window), and although the icon changes to the "pause" bars, I don't get any sound or sign of any audio player being activated.

What should happen? Are there any tricks I should know? What format does it ordinarily send?

Just checked one of my bookmarked CDBaby tracks. Worked OK. I have Firefox version 2.0.0.20 on a Mac (OS 10.3.9). Carried over the bookmarks from Safari and probably haven't used that link since.
After my email service was "upgraded" to the point where Safari couldn't handle it, I checked out and installed several browsers, so I now have Safari, Firefox, Camino and Opera. If I can't access something on Firefox, I try one of the others. All of these probably have later versions by now, but until I upgrsde the Mac OS, I'm stuck with what I've got.
I presume the format of the download files is MP3

Good suggestion -- no problem in Safari. My Firefox is the latest: 3.0.7. Mysterious.
