Does anyone know of Firefox plugin that will allow windows media player files to play in the browser window? At the moment I have to "Open in IE" to get these files to play.

I have that one on another computer.
What I'm talking about is when I click on a video file on the net (say on www.big-boys.com) I can't view the clip with firefox.

I don't think there is a plugin as of yet to allow you to play WMA within the browser. I've gone through all of the "official" plugins and I don't think any allow you to do what you are looking for.
Open in IE is probably all you can do at this point, unless you can find a way to tell it to open Media Player (or whatever) externally, at which point it STILL doesn't do what you want it to.

Huh? I can watch any windows media vid using Firefox with no problem. Even that RE4 preview vid from gamestop you said required IE to view.
Is that an example of what you can't watch?

1.0 as well, build 20041107, which is the one you download directly from their site.
Hmm... maybe it has to do with what player you have associated with those files?
LY- are you using MP 9 or 10 for the vids, or does it play in something else? Also, are you running Windows, Linux or something else?
