Trying to view an archived webinar. When I click on "view webinar" it says something like "Known issues with firefox 3.6. Use another browser."

When I went to the Firefox plugin page, it said "Windows Media Player 11 not available. What can I do now?

Windows Media Player does not include a plugin for Firefox. Microsoft have made one and you can get it from http://port25.technet.com/pages/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download.aspx

You may also need to copy the plugin file np-mswmp.dll into the Firefox\plugins folder as detailed in the 2nd paragraph of the "Installing the new plugin" section of the following article. (Note: In Firefox 4 beta versions, the Firefox\plugins folder does not exist by default, but will be used if you create the folder, then copy the plugin into the newly created folder).
