MS Releases New Media Player Firefox Plugin

Posted by kdawson on from the windows-only dept.

SilentChris writes "Microsoft today released a new Media Player plugin for Firefox that resolves the problems users of the older version were experiencing. According to the company's Port 25 blog, it's backwards compatible with Windows Media Player 6.4. The plugin is for Windows XP and Vista only, but if you have to watch WMV video at least it's less likely to crash your browser."

    /me looks around surprised. Everything is in flash players these days, isn't it? And if I want good quality video I download it from the newsgroups.

    Damn, just broke the first rule of newsgroups.
