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."

    seriously, who the fuck modded this insightful? i challenge the moderator to respond to this.

    every time i come back to look at this site and PRAY that something has changed, i see pointless up-mods because some tool posted something derogatory about microsoft.

    slashdot sucks, go ahead and silence me

    You're using open-source media player software. The authors couldn't care less if it actually works for you or not.
