I went through the instructions of Play Windows Media files in Firefox with the Windows Media plugin. I installed, uninstalled, reinstalled the plug-in, but it still does not work.

It works with FF5 on Vista, FF5 on Windows 7 Home Premium, so something is wrong with my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I am wondering if anyone could offer some tip on how go about the investigation.

Had same issue with Firefox 8.0 in Windows 7 Home Premium-64 bit. I disabled the VLC Multimedia Plug-in & problem was solved.

Click Tools (in Firefox)>>Add ons>>Plugins. Then find "VLC Multimedia Plug-in version...." and click "Disable".

In earlier versions of Firefox the culprit proved to be the "Realplayer Browser Record Plugin".
