Firefox does not download asx files from webtv.tv2.no which means that media player plugins does not work. In my case I have tested with the totem plugin. The media player plugin is notified to open the the file /tmp/plugtmp/metafile.asx but this file is empty. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Try streaming video from http://webtv.tv2.no/webtv/sumo/?treeId=5&progId=294392
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
The media player plugin open an empty file in /tmp/plugtmp/metafile.asx
No video plays.

Expected Results:  
/tmp/plugtmp/metafile.asx contains the actual information provided by the website and the plugin plays the video nicely
