Hello.
I am trying to play this video file online and Firefox won't play it using Media Player but Internet Explorer Will. What setting or plug in do I need using Firefox to get the file to play using Media Player?

Copying the shortcut to the link is not working LOL

I'm using Firefox version 0.8, and your link plays in WMP correctly for me every time. I DO have a bunch of plugins related to the Windows Media Player installed, but don't remember whether this was part of the original download of the browser, or whether they were added at a later time (I've got a touch of Half-Timers syndrom).
I believe that even if this was added separately, that the plugin would have come from the Firefox web site, as I don't remember every downloading any plugins for this browser from any other location.
I'm going to the website to try to find some additional information, and I'll post back if a stumble across anything helpful. Sorry I can't remember anything more at the moment...:(
Just found this link, maybe it'll help a little:
General Firefox Plugin information
Which version of Firefox are you running though? I see lots of feedback about newer versions "breaking" plugins that previously worked... this may be happening to you as well...
