Firefox Question

[ShirleyM]

I use FF all the time... it used to play .wmv files - Win Media Player videos. Now it won't, but instead displays a bunch of oddball characters. IE plays the same files just fine. I've installed win med player 11, no help. I have gone to FF help and all I get is that the plugin for Win Med 9 is there, but not for version 11. Regardless, the files won't play.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Thanks so much!

Thanks, Tom - I really appreciate it.. but I've been to all those sites already, downloaded the plugin, you name it... it works with IE but not FF and it USED to work!

And now I just noticed my paypal buttons work on FF, but NOT on IE!! (they work, but the "Add to Cart" and "View Cart" image doesn't show up, just the alt text.

Here's the site:

Companion Parrot Media

The buttons and the trailer (.wmv) are on that page.

Thanks so much,

Shirley

When I get home for a day or two I'll look at it for a fix if I can come up with one, post a thread on the Geek.com site, they always seem to be able to ome up with a patch or a fix.

HTH

PS I trust that you have done all the updates for your IE and FF both...
