How do I install letest Windows Media Player to view a webinar?

Question

Trying to view an archived webinar. When I click on "view webinar" it says something like "Known issues with firefox 3.6. Use another browser."
When I went to the Firefox plugin page, it said "Windows Media Player 11 not available. What can I do now?

You may also need to copy the plugin file '''''np-mswmp.dll''''' into the Firefox\plugins folder as detailed in the 2nd paragraph of the "Installing the new plugin" section of the following article. ('''Note''': <u>In Firefox 4</u> beta versions, the Firefox\plugins folder does not exist by default, but will be used if you create the folder, then copy the plugin into the newly created folder).
