Default Problem with Mozilla Firefox

I am doing a post production CD of a series of events we held. As I am doing web pages which embed wmv files. As Mozilla Firefox is now gaining in popularity, I need to test these pages using that platform as well as IE.

I have run in to problems with an anomolly in Mozilla Firfox

I did test with it last night

It played the wmv file from this page when I looked at it on the net, but when I looked at the same page that sits as a mirror site on my hard drive, Firefox would not play it.

Any ideas?

Type aboutlugins in the address bar of Firefox to check if you have the Windows Media Player Plug-in enabled.

This link should tell you all you need to know to play wmv files in Firefox though.

The perculiar thing though was that if it is on the internet, it plays - So I appear to have the plug in

If it is on your hard drive it does not, you just get the Windows media player sitting there, blank.

Other people on another forum have now been able to recreate this fault.

I use the < embed > tag to place the WMV file on the page.
