Description

[Frederic.Cotman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910

When I open a web page in which a streaming video or audio should begin to play,
the basic (Windows-internal) version of Windows Media Player is displayed and
the video or audio doesn't play. Though, I have installed WMP v 9.0 on my
computer. When I visit the same web page with IE, WMP 9.0 is opened and the
stream is played properly. How can I tell Mozilla, it has to use WMP v 9.0?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open a webpage with stream audio or video, e.g. www.radio1.be > luister live
(pop up)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
the player does'nt start to play. In websites with video-streaming, the video
does'nt start to play either.

Expected Results:  
use WMP 9.0, which I have installed on my computer (also tried with
re-installing it after installing Mozilla)
