Hi Daniel,
You need to type in "about:plugins" (without the quotes) in the navigation
bar of FF. If you have correctly installed the Windows Media Player Plugin
you should see it listed along with the supported filetypes including .wmv
The plugin uses the file mplayerplug-in-wmp.so which can be placed in your
~/.mozilla/plugins folder if you are the only user on your machine. It can
be placed in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins for system-wide use. You can find the
plugin here
http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/
Cheers,
Jonathan
