When I start firefox and try to play any station, I just get "Fire.fm player hasn't loaded" and no music.
fire.fm version: 1.4.12, firefox version: 3.6.13 (linux), flash version: 10.1.102.
I have NoScript and CS Lite installed as well.

Can you play music normally is you go to http://www.last.fm/?
Does this page (https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/) tell you that you have the latest version?

Yes, I can play music just fine with the flash player on last.fm's site.

I have not quite the latest flash version but almost:
I have flash-player-10.1.102.64 and the latest version from Adobe seems to be 10.1.102.65. However, the rpm from Adobe doesn't work for me - firefox doesn't seem to find the new flash lib or somesuch.
However, as I said: the flash player on the last.fm site seems to work fine, so at least it is possible in theory to play music with that flash version ;-)

Can you please try disabling all your other extensions and then testing again? Does that make a difference?

Thanks.

No difference at all, same message in the logs.
Not even with all other plugins disabled AND the most recent flash version from Adobe (10.1.102.65).
I have a 64bit system and use nspluginwrapper to use the 32bit flash plugin. That may make some difference - but the weird thing is that the flash player on the last.fm site plays music just fine...

BTW: update to fire.fm 1.4.13 hasn't changed anything.

It stop working for me a while ago too and I keep getting the message "The Fire.fm player hasn't loaded" a few seconds after I try to start a station in the bottom bar of the firefox browser window, just installed to latest update to be sure it's still the same problem (this is the tail from firefm/log.txt):

2011-02-25 13:33:18 FireFM.PlayerInitializer FATAL _testPlayer. Flash player testing failed.
2011-02-25 13:33:18 FireFMChrome.UIState ERROR _handlePlayerError. Status: 4

Please advise

This error is caused by a communication problem between Fire.fm and the Flash player. It could be fixed by updating the Flash plugin:
https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
However, there are some systems where we know the problem is persistent.

Can you give us more information about your system: OS, Firefox version, Flash plugin version.

Thanks.
