Firefox Finally Plays WMV
The Open Source Software Lab at Microsoft has released a plugin that finally makes Firefox consistently play WMV files. The plugin requires Firefox 2.0 and Windows Media Player 11. (Sorry to all of you who refuse to upgrade from WMP 10.)
Prior to this plugin, getting WMV files to play in Firefox was a crapshoot at best. I’ve personally never gotten it to work, even with trying it on multiple computers and on multiple Windows installs on my laptop. I guess some people have, but the success rate was not exactly great. I’m glad to see that MS actually put the effort into making Firefox, the biggest competitor by far to Internet Explorer, work consistently with their video formats.
