Download Windows Media Player Plug-in for Mozilla Firefox

Many websites on Internet use Windows media file format to show embedded videos. Unfortunately Mozilla Firefox web browser is unable to play them.

If you use Mozilla Firefox, you might have noticed that it doesn’t stream Windows Media Player files in websites. It happens because a required plugin to play Windows media files is not installed in Firefox, that’s why it can’t play those video files.
