Attempts to download wmp for Firefox are unsuccessful

more options

When I was unable to play a video on Discovery Education, I was prompted to update the wmp Firefox plugin. I clicked on the links, downloading the file and then running install, but it doesn't appear to be downloaded as I still can't play the video and there is no version of wmp listed under Tools, Plug ins.

hello, please try this: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named plugins.load_appdir_plugins. double-click it and change its value to true (a restart of the browser might be necessary afterwards for the change to take effect).

I have done all that, but still cannot play videos on websites. e.g trying to play a video on the Manchester City website or similar on Daily Mail, will not work.
