This probably applies to other video content on nbc.com but when I use FF
20050825 from the branch I get the message that Windows Pledia Player 9 was not
detected. This system does have WMP 10 actually and the page works in IE fine.

The "NBC Screening Room" appears to be totally broken in Gecko.  I just get "Loading..." forever.  I have WMP9 installed.

There are a few reports in Reporter as well:

Ah, it works if you install the ActiveX plugin!
