(Whiteboard: Dupe of bug 193883 ?)

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 I know that this is a microsoft problem, probably their way of making you use IE instead of Mozilla. But when I go to msnbc.com and try to play a video it says that I need Windows Media 10 or Windows Media Player and the install is only for IE. Now this wasn't a problem before Windows media 10 came out and I was wondering that, even though this is definently a Microsoft problem, if there was a workaround or a fix to it. I e-mail msnbc.com but no reply and I think that if firefox made a workaround it would really help in the category of not all pages working properly with firefox. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Msnbc.com 2.Play a video from msnbc.com 3. Actual Results: Need to install media player Expected Results: play the video
