Silverlight 2 Beta 2. Firefox 3 Video freeze problem

I noticed that my video player freezes (video stops, does not respond to .play() .stop() etc) when I play it in Firefox 3. I created a very simple player with mediaElement and found that once the video file is downloaded completely, it becomes unaccessible to the player. I have to clear the browser cache or else going to the site will cause no video to play at all (since it is already downloaded).

Tried it in both Vista and XP. Tried different browser cache size.

Here are some links (relevant code on pages):
http://www.dogswithoutwings.com/test/default.aspx - Video should freeze at some point (video length is 50seconds, works great in IE and Firefox 2)

http://www.dogswithoutwings.com/test/default2.aspx - Same thing but has a very simple download progress bar to help show when the problems happen.
