Description

[Ed]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.8) Gecko/20061025 Firefox/1.5.0.8

I have the latest version of Firefox and WMP 11.  When I am on a web site
that uses windows media player files (.wmv, .mpeg, .avi) Firefox cannot
operate the files.  It either tries to tell me that I do not have WMP installed,
or it tries to fire up QTP and use that, which does not work and eventually
locks up Firefox completely.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to web site that has WMP files
2.try to open one
3.Frefox says I don't have WMP installed, or it opens QTP and then freezes up

Actual Results:  
see above

Expected Results:  
it should seen that I have WMP 11 installed, and use that to open the files

it should have seen that I have WMP 11 installed and use that to open the files.
