Firefox 21 won't open mp3s in Windows Media Player

I have set the program to file type option to both "windows media player" and "ask" and Firefox still opens the mp3 in a generic player in a new tab. MP3s played in the Windows Media Player popup window (after downloading) fine in the last version of Firefox 20.X. I've tried disabling the Microsoft WMP plugin (the only way to stop them from opening in a new tab using Quicktime was to disable the Quicktime plugin).
The MP3 MIME settings in Quicktime have all been unchecked and the Windows extension settings all are set to Windows Media Player as the default player for MP3s.

Great worked for me too, but.............its a win 10 how do i update to the latest version

  • Quicktime won't open after installing windows media player

    i just added media player, and quick time will not play anything. anybody else have this problem, and any suggestions out there? thank you.

    Did you repair permissions & restart after the installation? If so, then try Flip4Mac and/or VLC media player instead of Windows Media Player.
    Don't forget to repair permissions afterward the installation(s).

  • I am using Firefox 3.6.13 and have installed Windows Media Player 1.0.0.8 for Firefox. However, if I attempt to open a file with a .wmv extension it appears to function properly, except, that I cannot "play" the file. What am I doing wrong?

    You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
    I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
    You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
    Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?

  • I can't play movie downloads.  I've tried opening them with Windows Media Player, i-tunes, and Quick time but they don't work.

    I can't play i-tunes downloaded movies.  I've tried opening them with Windows Media Player, i-tunes, and quick time.  Nothing works.

    If after you download the movie, you navigate away and do something else with your Apple TV the content you have downloaded will be overwritten and you'll need to download it again. It's a pain in the neck for many who have slow downloads but it's something that comes with using volatile memory rather than a hard drive for storage.
    Perhaps you're not doing this, but I thought it worth mentioning.

  • How to make WMV files open in in Windows Media Player not Flip4Mac/QT

    I just installed Safari 4. With Safari 3 when I clicked on a WMV file on a web site it would automatically open in Windows Media Player. I liked this arrangement just fine. When I installed Safari 4, instead of this happening WMV files started to download instead. I installed Flip4Mac and now they play in QuickTime but I don't like the controls... i.e. I cannot adjust the volume except from the keyboard.
    Is there any way to make WMV files open in Windows Media Player the way they used to in Safari 3 instead of either downloading or opening in QuickTime with Flip4Mac?

    Not very easy but it could be done.
    If the file opens in QuickTime (via Flip4Mac) you can use the Movie Inspector window to "find" the URL. Then open that URL directly in WMP.
    You could also dig through the page source code or use the Safari Activity window to find the URL.

  • Loading iTunes music onto a Lexar MP3 using Windows Media Player

    After I've purchased a song from iTunes, what do I do to load it on to a Lexar MP3 player that uses Windows Media Player? Thank you very much

    Tracks purchased from any legal download store carrying major-label content, including the iTunes Store, are copy-protected (with the exception of music on EMI's labels, much of which is also available in a higher-quality, nonprotected format) and so cannot be directly converted to any other format. You can, however, burn the tracks purchased from the iTunes Store out to an audio CD, at which point it will act just like any other normal audio CD.

  • ActiveX: Opening a separate Windows Media Player 9 window and controlling playback

    Hey all,
    I am trying to open a video in WMP4 automatically in Labview and control it. There is an existing ActiveX container but it remains on the front panel. I can control its playback, but cannot pause and resume.
    I can also open the video on a WMP9 window outside of LabView through Labview, but I have not been able to control it. Merely start it, and then watch it till it finishes. This is the preferred operation I need to figure out.
    LabView Version: 8.6
    ActiveX application: Windows Media Player 4
    OS: Windows XP
    My questions are:
    a) How do you pause and resume a video file if using the ActiveX container for which LabView provides
    b) How could I access the playback controls of an externally opened WMP instance through LabView (because I want to automate the playback based on acquired signals)
    Note that the ActiveX refnum is WMP4  whereas the installed version on XP is WMP9.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
     Hasan
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I do not have the
    Vision Development Module in LabView. I think it would have been under
    `Vision and Motion', however that menu is empty.
    I have
    managed to do what I want in the ActiveX container that shows the video
    as a part of the front panel. I start the video, I pause it and the
    screen goes blank (I want this feature. I could also get it to show the
    frame at pause, but that does not suit my needs). When I resume the
    play, it seeks to the point at which I paused the video.
    To
    do this, I use the invoke property -> controls -> 
    methodforcontrols-> play / stop functions and the currentposition
    property as both read and write. I do not have the windows media
    software development kit.
    I have attached the VI which
    describes what I have managed to do. Changing the first property node
    to an invoke method -> openplayer node will open an external player,
    but still do the required control of video playback on the wmp
    container on the front panel, without affecting the video being run on
    the external window. It seems like I should be able to tweak it and get
    it to do the same thing on the external instance of WMP, yet I have not
    been able to figure it out.
    Thanks for looking at this,
    Hasan
    P.S. - I couldn't upload the video that I was using, hst_1.mpg because it is not a valid extension. Please substitute it with another file before running. Sorry for the inconvenience

  • Open video in Windows media player

    The county offers streaming video of meeting of the Board of Supervisors.
    The video requires that it be playing in Windows media player for the Mac.
    When I click on the video link on the County's web site the video opens in what I presume is a dedicated Safari player but the video does not run properly in that player. (The name of the Safari player isn't identified.)
    Is there a way to get Safari to open video files in the Windows media player?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Hi iBob,
    Yes, I do have Flip4Mac installed. I don't know that Safari (3.2.3) recognizes it. Safari used to display the plug-ins under the Help menu, but now it doesn't on my new Mac Mini.
    Let me issue a challenge--if you are willing.
    1) Go to url: (http://new.mynevadacounty.com/streaming/)
    2) At the bottom of the page there are 3 video links labeled: "video" Click on any one of the three.
    3) Assuming that it will begin to play (on my Mac it opens in an undefined player) you are supposed to be able to jump to any of the agenda items listed in the box in the lower left hand corner of the screen. (Otherwise you have to listen to the entire meeting (lasting over 7 hours) to get to the item.) This option (jumping to the selected agenda item) doesn't work on either of my Macs (Power Book and Mac Mini).
    I would appreciate your feedback.
    Jim
    P.S. According to the County IT department you need:
    1) A G3 or newer with Mac OS X installed.
    2) You also must use Window Media player version 9 or higher or silverlight player.

  • Does Kin One or Two open mms:// pages (Windows Media Player)?

  • Make Firefox Open Windows Media Player for Video Files

    I need to make Firefox open the actual Windows Media Player application (not a plugin, the actual app window) when clicking on video links, e.g., WMV. These file types are already associated in Windows Explorer with WMPlayer, but this has no effect on Firefox.
    What happens right now is that after clicking a video, I get a black screen with the yellow VLC Player icon (VideoLAN VLC is installed on my PC) in the center and no video. I do NOT want to launch VLC or any internal plugins.

    You can change what type of application opens for each kind of type in Firefox's options.

  • Firefox 4 doesn't launch windows media player

    When I click on a link for a wmv file, Firefox 4 opens a new tab and then does nothing. It should launch Windows Media Player, but it doesn't. Firefox 3 worked fine. It launched Windows Media Player and played the wmv file.
    In Firefox 4, if I right click and then "Save Link as" it will download the wmv file to my hard drive and then I can play it by launching it myself.

    There is no plugin for Windows Media content on Android for stock browser or Firefox mobile. If possible download the content and use an Android media player to view the content.

  • How to get quicktime files to play in Windows Media Player...

    Hello. I've got a Mac and use iMovie to create vid's. I need them to export in a format that can be played in Windows Media Player on a PC. I've installed WMV (even bought the Studio version) and they were converted to mp4 files. They play great on the PC using Quicktime in the mp4 format, but when opening them into windows media player I keep getting a codec error. Is there anyway to get around this? Unfortunately, they have to be played on a PC in media player to be presented. Thanks for your time once again!

    Your bought WMV? Do you mean Flip4mac? If you just mean the ancient Windows Media Player for Mac, it won't work.
    Reading this set of directions you export to WMV and name the file with a WMV extension:
    http://www.flip4mac.com/pdfs/Flip4MacWMVQuickStart.pdf
    If you don't have Flip4mac, that is, the $50 version, not the $29 version, you can't export, just import.
