Can't view Windows Media Player Videos in Firefox

[Stuttgart 911]

I have Windows Media Center Edition 2005 so it came with WMP 10 installed and I installed firefox but I can't view any embedded videos or music. It says "install missing plug-ins..." but when I try to install it, it says "unknown plug-in" and doesn't do anything. How can I fix this? I'm using 1.04.

Please post a link to the site you're having trouble with and tell us what plug-ins you downloaded.

ANY site that has an embedded WMP file, like Gamespot videos, a lot of comdey sites, anything like that.

Foget it though, the people over at firefox helped me in a jiffy, so it is fixed.
