Missing Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox in Windows Vista

Feb072007 11:29PM — John —

This guide is for Windows Vista. Use this guide for Windows XP Media Center Edition.

The amazing popularity of my previous guide on how to get Firefox to play embedded Windows Media Player files in Windows XP Media Center Edition as well as my own need to fix my new install of Windows Vista has prompted me to make a guide specifically for Vista.

Now this time the MozillaZine guide worked for me, but it was a touch difficult to locate in the overall document so here’s my simplified solution JUST for Windows Vista…

Step 1: Download these 3 (three) files to your desktop. 1, 2, 3.
Step 2: Copy and paste these files into your Firefox Plugins directory. For example: (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins)

Good luck, I hope that helps and congratulations of choosing Vista.

I was just about to give up on this, but your guide brought me back from the brink. Now, I can play music and video samples like other people!

Thank you!
