Windows Media Player plugin was working fine before updating to 4 and now i've tried every single advice found in here and still can get it to work even though it is enabled on the add-ons page. Any new trick to try?
worked fine with 3.6
updated to 4
tried uninstall/install plugin
.dll downloads
disable/enable different plugins
next step is format?
I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

I have tried the suggestions on the help and troubleshooting pages including uninstalling and reinstalling plugins and Firefox 4. disabling the pop up blocker did not help either.
I have had the same problem since I installed Firefox 4.0.
Thank you for letting us know that The RealPlayer plugin conflict, was the source of this problem.
Another way to fix this (for good) is doing the following:
1) Click on "Tools">Options"
2) Click on the "Applications" tab
3) Search in the "Content Type" column, all the applications that start with the words "Windows Media." Click on the content that is listed to the right of each application's name and choose "Use Windows Media Player (default)."
By doing this, Firefox will avoid using the Windows Media Player plugin and will open the corresponding application directly with Windows Media Player.
I just did this and is working perfectly. Try it and let me know how it works for you. -

''Just for the record, the extension that conflicted with Windows Media Player is named: Real Player Browser Record Plug-In 14.0.2''

I am sick and tired of going to 3rd party websites and install plugin that have malware and virus. Need to have this Windows Media player plugin from Firefox directly.
Thanks, but again, I'm either missing something or Firefox is being finicky. I play videos on Apple.com just fine thru Firefox, so the QuickTime plugin is apparently working. Of course, I didn't try every video on Apple.com so it's possible I picked the few that worked. And with some serious massaging I've actually been able to get Firefox to play low resolution .mp4 videos. Videos rendered at 256x144 display in the HTML5 video player in Firefox. Videos rendered at resolutions greater than 256x144 do not display in Firefox. At least, these are the results I'm getting....I suspect others may be getting different results.
This isn't a file size thing because a 512x288 .mp4 video is actually less than 1/2 the size of the lower resolution 256x144 .mp4 video, and yet Firefox does not display a 512x288 .mp4 video.....again, for me anyway. This is beyond confusing, but thanks for the suggestions. You are correct - Firefox does NOT support .mp4 videos (most resolutions) in the HTML5 video player....for some unknown reason! -
Windows Media Player plugin doesn't work with the beta version of Mozilla.
Make it easier. C:/Program/Mozilla Firefox (the old installation) and copy the entire folder "plugins". Now go to the path of the Firefox beta installation and paste the folder. All the old add ons will work. Bye

Every time Firefox openedHi Lindsay.
The [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_Media_Player MozillaZine "Windows Media Player" KB doc] explains installation and troubleshooting in-depth including a link to test the plugin, which should help you solve this problem.
Do note - if your Windows 7 OS is a 64-bit version, make sure that the plugin actually ends up in the Mozilla Firefox plugin folder (default '''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\'''). There are reports of the plugin (or actually Firefox) ending up in the wrong folder. 64-bit Windows systems has 2 Program Folder locations - "Program Files" for 64-bit applications, and "Program Files (x86)" for 32-bit applications.
Also note that the Windows Media Player is required to use the plugin - if WMP has been uninstalled from the Windows Control Panel, the plugin will not work.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help more users with similar problems. -
Need Windows Media Player Plugin for Windows 8
When I go thru the directions to install the plugin it only shows up to Windows 7. I have Windows 8. The media player works fine thru Internet Explorer, but I'd rather use Firefox.
Problem - I have an important viewing of my daughter's 3d/4d ultrasound this Saturday and I don't want to mess up my laptop by installing the wrong version and not being able to view it at all.
Thanks.Those instructions should work for Windows 8 as well.
Did you try to install the plugin, assuming that you've already installed the WMP?

How does one use JavaScript with the Windows Media Player Plugin?
Hi there.
According to this old [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd564570%28v=VS.85%29.aspx MSDN Article] it is possible to control the windows media player plugin using javascript.
It provides a series of objects off the object that should perform certain funtions, such as play stop and seek.
It states very clearly in the article that some are not supported; however, none of them seem to be working with the latest version(s?) of Firefox.
I have Firefox 5 installed currently and have not tested in any other version, so I'm not sure when it stopped working.
The video does load and will display properly -- the ability to control it through javascript however, does not work.
i.e.:
var mplay = document.getElementById('myplayer');
mplay.controls.play(); // mplay.controls is undefined
This same code works in Internet Explorer.You need to place the URL in a data attribute for Firefox.
<pre><nowiki>document.write(' <OBJECT id="Player" data="http://87.117.197.189:16229" width="320" height="45" type="application/x-ms-wmp">');
document.write(' <param name="AudioStream" value="true">');
document.write(' <param name="Enabled" value="True">');
document.write(' <param name="ClickToPlay" value="false">');
document.write(' <param name="BufferingTime" value="5">');
document.write(' <param name="ShowDisplay" value="False">');
document.write(' <param name="Volume" value="70">');
document.write(' <param name="autoStart" value="true">');
document.write(' </OBJECT>');</nowiki></pre> -
Whenever I open firefox a add ons screen comes up with the yahoo web page behind it. . I just want the Yahoo web page and do not want to close the add ons page every time I use my computer.
I don't know what else to say about this. It is a screen that comes up in its own window everytime I open FirefoxPlease check your home page setting and see if about:addons is listed. If it is, please remove it
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page -
I have already seen some suggested solutions to the problem of this extremely annoying Yahoo DNS error solutions page, but they involve going to the add-ons page of firefox and disabling various add-ons. The issue is that even when I try to go to the add-ons page I get immediately redirected to the Yahoo DNS solutions page again.
I have cleared my browser history and cache, hoping it would help, but nothing. Extremely annoying as I never installed anything - it simply started after a Firefox upgrade.
Any help much appreciated.Open the Help menu and choose Restart Firefox with Add-ons Disabled. Remove any offending extensions. For details, see the "Uninstall from Firefox Safe Mode" section of the following article.

Firefox keeps opening the Add-ons page
Whenever I launch Firefox or open a new tab, the add-ons page opens. This has been happening since I updated to Firefox 4 a few days ago. I've tried disabling all the add-ons I have but it makes no difference. I've also turned off updates for add-ons, that didn't help either.
I'm running Windows XP.
Thanks.It's possible that the page is included in the home page setting.
Have a look at the illustration here and compare it with your own configuration:

I cannot connect to the add-ons page to get new ones
When I go to Tools, add-ons, I get the "What are add-ons?" and it tells me that when I connect to the internet the panel will feature many options.
I am online why can I not connect to the add-ons page?
DanThere have been a number of issues with server problems over the last few days. Try to go to that Mozilla page again. The issues have been intermittent and could return at any time until a final resolution is found. This forum page has also been affected by the problem(s).

After latest update, unable to play games on CNN or view some web pages. Says flash player required. Everything worked fine before update.
Hi..
Try uninstalling the current Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
If you are running v10.7 > Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
Relaunch your browser after reinstalling the Flash. Assuming your are using Safari, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache

On the add ons page, when i click a category nothing happens ?
after new version of firefox updated, my weather extension was incompatible. when i go to the add ons page and click a category , nothing happens. what's going on ?
Del your cache (Ctrl+Shift+Del > Time range : Everything > Just choose cache > Clear now) > Reload
-
I have twice downloaded the latest version in the last month. Each time I encountered the same problems. the Weather Channel add-on I have did NOT appear in the latest version. When I tried to access the Add-Ons page under the Tools header it would not load. When I tried to contact Mozilla from the Help header it would not load
When I open a web page from Bookmarks it is painfully slow to load.
This is NOT an improved version. I have been using Firefox for years without problems; I prefer it to Internet Explorer. However the latest 'improved' version may change my mind.The problem is that the Add-ons Manager tab when opened the first time, is on "Get Add-ons" section and that must be downloaded from the Add-ons server which might be overburdened.
* If you need to look for new Add-ons, go directly to the Add-ons site -> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
