Firefox won't play this but IE will.

[J A L]

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?

JAL:

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...
