Guest FirefoxRocks Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 In Firefox/Flock, try clicking on Install Missing Plugins to see which plugin it is trying to install. In Windows, I have Windows Media Player and it is shown as an embedded object in Firefox whenever I watch WMV movies. Opera does the same thing also, and Internet Explorer works. I don't know which code the sites are using, but I suppose you can try this: <object data="Multimedia/sth.avi" type="video/x-msvideo"><object classid="clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"><param name="movie" value="sth.avi" /></object></object> I thought that AVI was handled by QuickTime.
