Firefox finally gets the Windows Media Player plugin

3 comments

Port 25 of Technet finally gave it out. Its 302 KB and will help you play those odd bad-sites that use Windows Media content. Its only for Windows though.

Download WMP Plugin for Firefox

(Alternatively, Firefox will now automatically install it in case you ever encounter this necessity to play on any page.)

Installation Instructions

1. Installation of the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin may require administrative access to your PC. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.
2. Click the Install button to automatically download and install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
3. Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the plugin.

More (Issues, etc) @ Port 25.

Windows Defender – Easiest way to open it.

leave a comment

This applies to Vista users.

I don’t know why Microsoft has made it this way but you just double click empty space in your tray and bang! Windows Defender opens telling your computer is safe. Of course, I’ve never asked it to scan. Or it does it automatically. Hmm.

Click somewhere here. ( The red portion and on your tray, not on the pic. :P ) Mostly works below normal tray icons and not below Volume/Internet/Date icons.

The actual reason the key – FCKGW-RHQQ2-YXRKT-8TG6W-2B7Q8 went so crazily popular among the warez Windows XP users across the world is cause of this particular image devil’s0wn (The group which released it first, before XP even came out to public!) led to.
