firefox

With IE,when I click on an mpeg on a website it starts to play the file using Windows Media Player. How can I get this to happen with Firefox? Can anyone help please?

Open fire fox, Click on TOOLS, then OPTIONS, Then on the left there is a button marked DOWNLOADS.

Three areas are displayed, the one we want to look at is titled FILE TYPES.

Find the Extension of the movie type you want to change in the list (eg, MPEG, MOV, AVI etc... ) and highlight it and press CHANGE ACTION button.

a new window will open with three options again. select OPEN THEM IN THIS APPLICATION, and then browse to :

C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe

then click on OK all the way out of the options of firefox. Close any current firefox windows, and then reopen firefox for the changes to take effect.
