Hi - I just want to confirm the following behavior is due to this bug prior to opening a new bug for it. This is with Firefox and the Windows Media Player PlugIn. 

An avi file was stored in a google app driven website which requires
authentication before the avi is allowed access. A similar html page with
the embed/object tag to display the data was encoded.
 
IE as expected displays the media after authentication.
 
Firefox does NOT display the media EVEN after authentication.
This is with Firefox version 3.0.3
  
The Firefox plug-in was downloaded from the following location (date posted 4/13/2007):  http://port25.technet.com/pages/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download.aspx
 
Thank you!
