Description
Latest firefox plus latest JWplayer on a drupal optimized and drupal specialist webhosting :
FF shows the player and the movie plays but only a blank black screen -
things work okay in IE.
Similar reports here - Firefox 3.5 (RC4) Not Compatible JW FLV Media Player 4.4 which was apparently fixed with some fix in the cms end. http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.feedback.firefox.prerelease/brows...

If I remembered correctly Firefox needs a "name" parameter alongside "id" to display correctly. More explanation was buried somewhere in the longtailvideo forum thread.
