Firefox windows media player pop-up problem

[crazycat]

I have a problem with firefox that when i go to a website and there is a windows media player movie on it it does not play however when i copy the url and open it with safari it has no problems with it. I get a warning message then the movie plays in a windows media player window. How can i watch these movies in firefox?

Maybe if you fix the problem that causes the warning message, they'll play in both.

Well when the warning comes and i click accept or whatever it is then it works in safari but not firefox.

What are you using to play WMP movies? Are you using Flip4Mac, WMP9, or something else?

Maybe the same condition (whatever it might be) is impossible to overcome in Firefox.

Windows media player 9 for mac.

Try opening Firefox under Rosetta (select application icon, command-I /get info, and tick the Rosetta box). The downside is that Firefox will run slower, but the windows media links might work then.

Actually, I missed the part where you said you had an Intel processor... either way, give Flip4Mac a try, as its now a Universal Binary as well as now the official solution for WMP on Mac....
