Windows Media Player
Unsupported
This plugin is automatically installed in the Internet Plug-ins folder in the Library Folder using the installer from Microsoft's website. However, it has known (and in some cases severe) problems when used with Mozilla based browsers. The Flip4Mac WMV Plugin should be used instead.
mozilla.org has made the decision that Windows Media Player will no longer be supported on Mac OS X. This is due to major issues in stability and compatibility. It is also due to Microsoft endorsing the Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.
