Midi files and Firefox

A recent thread on playing midi files with TiMidity got me to wondering
about a problem I have.

One web site that I love has music that plays with the pages.  They play
when I use Windows, but on Linux they don't.  I wondered why since I
have most of the music formats playable with XMMS and others.

When I checked this site i found all the music files are midi (.mid)
files.

Now my quest is to find out how to get firefox on Fedora to play
the .mid files that web pages may use.

Does anyone know how to get firefox to play the .mid files?

I also seem to need a little help with installing/configuring TiMidity
to play regular .mid files locally.
I have installed timidity after compiling but when I try to open a .mid
file it fails because the timidity.cfg file is not found. Documentation
is too sparse to let me know the minimum content of this file necessary
to play .mid files.

Can someone share their timidity.cfg file so I can play .mid files?

Thanks
