To play Windows Media in Firefox, you need the Windows Media Player browser plugin installed. There are two different versions:

• The original, which is usually included with Windows up until XP.
• The new version, specifically developed for Windows XP and above, which is only available by download.

This article describes how to check for and install the Windows Media Player Firefox plugin.Many Windows XP users will have the old plugin already, but it is recommended that you install the new plugin, anyway.

Note: Even if you already have Windows Media Player installed, you may still be missing the plugin required to play back Windows Media audio and video embedded in web pages.
