Why in Firefox is it asking me to install Windows Media Player to play clips - it's installed! (w/ extension)

Question

I have Windows Media Player

I have the WM Firefox extension

I have FF3

yet it still doesn't play WM clips.

Any clues?

Answer 1

Have you checked to see if perchance the WM Plugin is disabled?

Try this:

1. Click the Tools->Addons menu item.

2. Click the Plugins tab.

3. Scroll all the way to the end of the list.

4. Click on the Windows Media Player Plug-in Dynamic Link Library entry and see if there's an Enable button.  If so, click it.

Hope that helps.
