The browser is great but I have a problem trying to open anything streaming.
Like radio stations where you can listen now with media player or any movies.
The browser crashes and takes any open windows with it. If I uninstal windows
media player the sites give options for which player to use but of course WMP is
mot there. Both QT And Real work great, but there is no option to use these on
the sites I visited. I'e looked and WMP is in the plugin on my browser.

Reproducible: Always
