What player?
What happens?
Can mplayer play them?
Have you installed rythmbox and opened a file with that?

Just follow the orca firefox wiki and download a nightly build. (Just get 
a binary its easier.)
Then put that maybe in
/home/user/packages/

And then run the binary which is /firefox/firefox...

If you like it open alacarte in gnome-terminal and hide your current 
firefox in the internet menu. Then add a new item call it firefox 3 and 
link it to /home/user/packages/firefox/firefox

Also update your orca.
Install svn check it out and build it from source.
Just get the bleeding edge...

Follow the instructions over at
live.gnome.org/Orca
