pick episod 209 to 216, a new window will pop up
(http://www.mtv.com/onair/dyn/viva_la_bam/series.jhtml) usually windows media
player should appear in the place where this is writen "We have detected your
browser does not have the required Windows Media 9 plug-in to play this video.",
even thought it is installed. I've tested it with IE and everithing worked fine.
On this page you can also watch Realmedia streams, they work. Only WMP dosn't
load, firefox dosn't know that it has to load it?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to
http://www.mtv.com/onair/dyn/viva_la_bam/videos.jhtml?p=21&q=20&channelID=1&seriesID=11089
2.click on any clip starting from "April goes up in a hot air balloon"
3.wait till the new window loads up and presto!

Actual Results:  
The new window loaded up and wrote "We have detected your browser does not have
the required Windows Media 9 plug-in to play this video."

Expected Results:  
Insted of "We have detected your browser does not have the required Windows
Media 9 plug-in to play this video." The player (windows media player 9) should
be in the window playing the stream.
