    How to Stream WM Videos in Firefox

    Every time I try to watch a Windows Media Video in Firefox, I get the green puzzle piece icon that says I don't have the plugins for it. But then Firefox can't find the plugins I need.

    I have the latest version of Windows Media, so how do I get it to work in Firefox?

    I have this problem too, and haven't had a clue how to fix it.

      I switch to an IE tab, but I don't have to do that too often.

        Yea, I use the IE tab too, but I freaking hate having to do it every time I want to watch a video.

        I know someone around here knows, we've got some Firefox experts. Joeboo? someone else?

          Like the others have said, I use IE Tab. I hate it, but it's the only thing that I have found that works. If anyone else has a better solution, post it.

            WM files work for me, but I really don't know what I did to get it that way. Did you try installing WM 10.0 from Microsoft's site? I also ran across this info off of FF's support site:

            Installing the ActiveX Plugin
            If this doesn't work, post the WM file that's not working for you. I can try some stuff later today and see if I can get it to work.

              Using the .xpi file worked perfectly, thanks Joeboo.

                Unfortunately....the plugin didn't work for me for some reason, but there is no specific file I'm trying to load, just all across the internet.

                  I used to have this problem but after getting the latest FF update it hasn't been a problem.

                    I have the latest and it's still not working, it sucks. Minor inconvenience to load IE, its not a big deal but I just don't understand why it doesn't work.

                      I have a firefox extention that's called lauchy. basically, you right click a link and go down to lauchy and put the cursor on the media and click and the video will stream.
