When the web-page specified is opened, the first video starts automatically. If I bring up the Properties window of the second video clip, copy its URL to the buffer and then move the Properties window, the system always crushes, in a second or two.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://cobweb.ecn.purdue.edu/~shalaev/rtvi_video.htm
2. Wait until the first clip starts.
3. Right-clic on the second clip (the right one), choose "Properties"
4. On the Properties window, select URL, then Ctrl-C.
5. Move the Properties window with a mouse.
Actual Results:  
Immediate system restart.

Expected Results:  
Keep showing the web-page content including video.

The Windows Media Player 9.00.00.3250 is installed.
The WMV video within Mozilla Firefox is as by default.

Sorry but Firefox doesn't install kernel mode drivers and that means it can not cause the system to crash/Blue Screen.
This is always a driver or hardware problem and in this case a video driver problem but you have to analyze the windows memory dump or the BSOD text yourself.
It's possible that you get this problem only using Firefox and/or only a special Version of Firefox, it's still a driver bug which can't be fixed in Firefox.
