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:

Expected Results:
