Your plugins list in the system details doesn't show the WMP plugin.
You need to install the WMP plugin for Firefox if you want to see embedded WMP content.
See:
Play Windows Media files in Firefox with the Windows Media plugin http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_Media_Player#Missing_plugin
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates (%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates
Download a fresh copy of Firefox ( http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html ) and do a reinstall of Firefox over the top of the current version.
If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
