windows media player fails to show in web browser,  however it will show when i
go to tools>options>web features>load images>for the originating website only
and i check it on it works.  then when i check it on it will immediately show. 
next time i go to another page with windows media player file it doesnt show so
i have to uncheck that "for the originating website only" box and it works
again.  looks like a simple fix.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a website that has a windows media player video.
2. fails to show anything
Actual Results:  
Nothing shows when there should be a video playing.

Expected Results:  
Show the video playing.  I found a way to get it to show, in the detail section
but I will write again in here.  Just by either checking/unchecking the box "for
the originating website only" in tools>options>web features>load images and then
closing it all the browser will recognize the windows media player video and
display it correctly.  however to have it work each time this must be done.

i have several extensions installed including adblock which allowed me to see
that there was something being displayed but i couldnt see it.  so i just messed
around and was clicking some options and i got it to display with the method in
the "expected results" section i wrote in.

This is wfm with FF1.0.4 and a Mozilla CVS on win2k3
Do you get the same problem if you run Firefox in the safemode ?
