.wmv Won't Play In FireFox

[olds]

I can't play the wmv format in FireFox. They don't open and I have to use IE. Am I missing an extension or plugin? I don't get a message to download a plugin.
Site in question

dude the same thing happens to me

 

[mordantmonkey]

did you install the wimp AND active-x plug in?
embedded wmp files almost always need the active x plug in. and don't worry the ff active-x plug in ONLY allows wmp.

Man, it's too bad we don't have a software forum or anything. That would kick ass because everyone would post all the software stuff in the correct forum. I am sad.

active x, yes.
What is wimp?

Oh, well, in that case, instead of bumping the thread or finding a fix on your own by searching the internet, the only solution is obvious: post in the wrong forum. Obviously.

I am glad you see it my way. Welcome to the light.

FF and streaming media is like a box of chocolates...

FYI, it works for me though, no specially installed plugins. Some sites don't work, however.

That was a very weak reply. I had hoped to have this long drawn out flaming name-calling argument. Now I'll just have to go cry in the corner!

If I type the url for the video in, it starts WMP and plays.
It won't self load in the browser.

 

[JustAnAverageGuy]

I don't know about your browser, but the link works perfectly fine in Opera.

Weak? It served my purpose. You are once again crying in the corner.

Huh?
Look at my edit time and your post time. I couldn't have possibly edited it before you posted about it.

Have you checked out the MediaPlayerConnectivity extension?

Thank you. That's much closer. It still doesn't launch the video but at least there is now a window to click on to launch it.
