just installed new build which supposedly fixed windows media player problem. it still doesn't work. at any website with windows media video content, it shows the puzzle piece saying missing plugin, when you try to find plugin it says there are no downloads available. i would love to quit using IE and use Firefox only, but if you guys don't fix the problem for real this time i'll be staying with IE. btw, i'm running wmp version 11, but i've had this problem with previous versions of wmp also. can't remember if it ever worked properly. also i am running windows xp media center edition with all the latest updates.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.visit any website with video content
2.play video with wmp
3.firefox asks for missing plugin, which it cannot find

WMP works for me @ CNN.com

Got a specific URL that fails for you?

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_Media_Player should help you get the WMP plugin installed and working.
