In Internet Explorer Options, Ensure Play videos in web pages is ticked. (Refer Attached Pic). Look for similar option in firefox.

Just check your security settings in IE. Have you allowes Active X & plug-ins to run ?

Check if the media plays in other media player. If it dosen't then media is corrupt or you don't have necessary codecs.

Also try this method....

In IE Click View > Explorer Bar > Media.
In the media options on the media bar, Ckick Settings > Play web media in media bar.
