How do I watch videos inside Firefox?

I am having problems watching Microsoft help videos within Firefox, like the one in this page: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/windows-media-player-12]
FF suggested that I download the MS Media player Firefox Plugin WMPfirefoxplugin.exe 1.0.0.8 . I installed it, but as a result, when I click on the video, it opens up full screen in the same tab. It looks impressive, BUT ...is there a way that I can watch those vids in the small frame inside the original web page, like it happens with youtube videos?
Thanks!! (-:

As I wrote above, you can't play that video embedded in Firefox.<br />
If you hover the player then you will notice a .wmv video link in the Status Bar.<br />
That will cause Firefox to open the video in a new tab or window.
MS has decided to hide the embedded player for other browsers.<br />
If you look at the View > Page Source then you can see the there is conditional code for IE to embed the player.<br />
There is this code that hide that player for Firefox:
<pre><nowiki>div.wmpObjectContainerInit div.wmpObjectDiv{margin-bottom:7px;display:none;}</nowiki></pre>

  • How do I watch .mp4 on firefox mobile?

    I tried to open a site with an .mp4 video imbedded. The firefox browser told me that i needed a new version of flash player. So i clicked on the link and it told me that I can't download flash onto apple devices. I have an android phone. How do I watch .mp4 on firefox mobile?

    But the native web browser allows me to open an MP4 file directly in the Video app, where it is played directly. Firefox 4 Mobile first downloads the whole file, before I can play the file in the Video app. This takes too long and it is to tedious since I have to manually remove the downloaded file later. Is it possible to configure FF4M so it would do the same as the native browser?

  • My Mac keeps crashing (whole system) when I'm watching videos with Firefox, any idea why?

    Ok so I got a new mac and as usual install firefox which is my favorite browser, suddenly my computer started crashing, not just firefox the whole system froze and I had to reboot to make it work again, I didn't know what was happening until I noticed that said crashes happen when I was watching videos on firefox, I tried to use chrome and the issue was gone. So anyone has any idea why this is happening? I really would love to start using firefox again!

    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.
    If this does not fix the issue, you may need to reinstall Adobe Flash Player on your computer.

    You have to have a successful install before F8 will work. You cannot format the partition from Safe Mode anyway. You must start the install anew by booting the Windows Installation CD. Press C at startup.

    how do you watch videos that require flash on ipad2

    As flash isn't supported on the iPad (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/), you could try apps such as Skyfire which claim to support flash, though their review are mixed. A number of websites (especially news sites) have their own apps in the App Store, so you could check to see if your favourite site(s) have apps.

  • How do I watch videos without them stopping all the time?

    How do I watch videos without them stopping all the time?
    I have Snow Leopard on two computers and IOS5 on IPad 2. Videos will not run without stopping. I am talking about videos like on Yahoo and YouTube etc.

    Slow Internet download speeds are typically responsbile, if you have 5 Mb/s or slower it's really bad. 10 Mb/s or higher is preferred and 20 Mb/s or better is ideal.
    If you use a alternate DNS service like GoolgeDND or OpenDNS which has to fetch Akami hosted content from overseas instead of using your much closer ISP servers.
    If your router is the old G model, upgrade to N.
    If your wifi is open, you could have leechers. The more on the network, even a fast one, the slower it gets.
    Secure your network info here etc.,

    Until Amazon decides to support the iPad with its streaming video, about the only way is to play the video on your computer and use a VNC program to watch the computer on your iPad. Not much of an option, is it?

    I hope I can post here.
    On many websites (i.e. Youtube, Dailymotion...) using flash, when I click on play, or pause, it's absolutely without effects, since a long time.. (I tried with Firefox, or others browsers, it's the same)..
    Thanks in advance
