Oh, I know there are ways round it, but the general idea is that the
software invoked while viewing the web page doesn't have user controls
to invite you to download or rewind the sound. It's all about the legal
difference between a download and a broadcast. The BBC's "Listen Again"
service is the same - of course there are ways of recording it and
keeping it, but the user has to do something very deliberate to achieve
that, like install extra software. 

What about the website problem? (I'm beginning to think it's a Mozilla
issue)
