Microsoft's WMP Now Available on Firefox
By: Priyanka Pradhan   |   Apr 18,2007
Microsoft has announced the release of its Windows Media Player for Mozilla Firefox web browser.

The official Microsoft blog stated, "The Windows Media Player team put a lot of work into evolving media playback on Windows Vista through the new Media Foundation pipeline, and has also been actively monitoring feedback on WMP and playback in general. While commentary has been mainly positive for Web playback through IE, we've noticed that there's still work to be done to make Firefox users able to enjoy their media content on Windows."

Firefox is able to play most videos on the web, but it does run into problems when sites require Windows Media Player. There are ways to play Windows Media content in Firefox, but this new add-on lets web surfers use Windows Media Player to view multimedia content.

The add-on is available for download from Port 25 as an executable file. It works with Windows XP SP2 (x86), Windows XP SP2 (x64), Windows Vista (x86), and Windows Vista (x64). When using Firefox 2.0.0.3 with Vista, users will need to run the installer once, let it fail, restart Firefox, and run the installer again.
