Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin

To play Windows media in Firefox, Firefox needs the Windows Media Player browser plugin installed. There are two different versions:

• The original, which is usually included with Windows from 98 up to XP Home/Professional
• The new version, which is specifically for Windows XP and Windows Vista and is only available by download.

Many Windows XP users will have the old plugin already, but it is recommended that you install the new plugin anyway.
