View media content using Windows Media Player Firefox Plug-in


The Windows Media Player team recently released a plug-in for Firefox. After you install it you will be able to view Windows Media Player videos directly from your favourite browser.
Each time you will navigate to a web page that has the embedded Windows Media Player ActiveX control, Firefox will automatically grab the new plug-in and you will be able to enjoy your media content. To download this plug-in, click on the following link.
Alternatively, you can click on the attached file and download it directly from our site. The plug-in works on both Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista (32 and 64 bit).
When installing, remember to follow these instructions:

1. Installation of the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin may require administrative access to your PC. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.
2. Click the Install button to automatically download and install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
3. Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the plugin.
There is a known issue if you are using Firefox version 2.0.0.3 on Windows Vista with the installer failing with error code -203. To work around this simply restart Firefox (you will get a notification that Windows Vista will be changing the Firefox compatibility settings) and then install again - the second time should succeed.
