Some clients of mine have posted a soundcloud player I made on their websites like this one.

As you can see in the Firefox and Safari screenshots, Firefox shows me a blank box where the player shows fine in Safari.

The same goes for this soundcloud url I found in the html source.

Here is the full html code for the section of that source page

The Jack Johnson & Friends - Best of Kokua Festival special is now available as a 5 part podcast series!

Check out the widget below to check out the festivities, and prepare to have your ears transported off to beautiful sunny Hawaii!

I figured it out. The Soundcloud widgets I can't see are all the html5 versions. Seems the problem with seeing them in Firefox is related to old cookies. I cleared them all out, reloaded the pages and then everything looked great.

You will at least have to add a type="application/x-shockwave-flash" and a data attribute to the object tag 

<object height="560" width="560" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/49274451&auto_play=false&player_type=artwork&color=0033ff">
<param name="movie" value="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F49274451&auto_play=false&player_type=artwork&color=0033ff" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /></object>
