I like the code!! My version had a jump to <Hairloss> subroutine as well ;-)
Anyways I think I've sorted it out. Apparently FF will use the Quicktime
plugin automatically. It didn't apparently work for me because QT wasn't
configured (Preferences... MIME types) to play MIDI. Your WWAG gave the
clue! The missing plugin message in FF is probably erroneous and is
misleading.
It works now. But it's not great compared to IE because the sound is coming
from a separate app (QT) and not really the browser as such. If e.g. another
instance of the browser is started (even another vendors browser such as IE)
or another application (e.g. Noteworthy player) and that new instance wants
to play sound, they both play together! In IE, the browser sound stops once
it is inappropriate for the context e.g. another app producing sound has the
focus. In FF I have to manually stop the background browser instance(s)
plugin from playing.
I won't be using FF for surfing sound-orientated sites!

FF here does the same circular nonsense:
1 Click here for missing Plugin
2 QT Plugin available, click here to install
3 Installation finished, no QT Plugin available
4 If <not frustrated>
Then <goto 1>
Else <abend>
A WWAG; to which player is the midi file type associated?
