How to make a Windows Media video file .wmv in FireFox? What is the name of extension or add-on required?

I have Windows 7 and FireFox 24.0

I'm doing a standard Microsoft Media Video file. MWV run. When I click on the video link to plant video, I get a message saying that I need a plugin to run the file.

I already ran into Setup on the link below. This installer named wmpfirefoxplugin.exe does not install anything in my FireFox plugins list or the list of Extensions.

https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/play-Windows-Media-files-in-Firefox?ESAB=a & As = AAQ

Where else can I try make FireFox run a. File MWV?

Hello, please try this: enter Subject: config in the bar firefox address (confirm the message information where it appears) & search for the preference named plugins.load_appdir_plugins. Double-click it and change its value to true (a restart of the browser may be needed later for the change to take effect).

some information on the issue are explained in http://www.ghacks.net/2013/05/15/why-you-may-have-lost-access-to-plugins-or-extensions-in-firefox-21/

  • How to make subtitles for a video file appear in Windows Media Player?

    I recently got a video file to a DVD, ending with a .mkv file type. The audio is in a language other than English, but there are English subtitles available. If I play the file in Windows Media Center or Windows Movie Maker, and then present subtitles, but in Windows Media Player, subtitles are not. I activated the option of subtitles (play > lyrics, captions and subtitles > on) but still no results. I use software different media if necessary, but my favorite is WMP and prefer to use it. Thanks in advance!

    Can someone tell me how to get a windows media file inserted a picture on top?

  • Windows Media Player 10 is set additional characters in the names of artist & composer names

    The drive attaches extra characters index, exhibitor characters, letters and boxes behind the names of some of the artists in my library, and they cannot be deleted using change.  They can be removed by using advanced tag editor, but usually they come back the next time I open the media player.  What is causing this and how can I keep it from happening.  Also, when I add a new song to the library and then change something the media player will often change back again after a few seconds.  If I then change it again, it will stay changed.

    Then additional characters are attached to music files in the MP3, WMA and WAV format? Note that WAV has very bad assumption of marking, so any tag replaces these files will be only stored in the library, not in the files themselves.

    Try to reset the library, by following the instructions for WMP 10 on XP at http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#medialibrary . Note the reset of the library will make you lose all the counts to play and possibly ratings too. Who help me?

    If you say that you have downloaded video clips

    to convert to WMV format.

    There are many programs that can do conversions...

    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Format Factory

    (the 'direct link' is faster)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup260.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the last screen)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag FFSetup260.exe out of the folder
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)
    are converted)

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...

    Hello

    1. what file format you are trying to burn?

    2. have you made changes on the computer recently?

    3. What is the security software installed on the computer?

    If it's something you downloaded, it may be copy protected by DRM, in which case you may not burn it to a CD or DVD.

    Here are a few things to try:

    1. make sure that the disc is clean.

    2. try a different brand of blank discs.

    3. stop all other programs that are running.

    4. make sure that the hard drive does not use disk compression.

    I suggest that you follow these steps and check if they help to solve the problem.

    Method 1:

    Try to use the Troubleshoot utility to see if that solves the problem.

    a. open the troubleshooting Windows Media Player settings Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel.

    (b) in the search box, type "convenience store" and then click Troubleshooting.

    c. click on show all and then click the Windows Media Player settings.

    Method 2:

    Method 3:

    If you have any third-party burning software, I suggest you temporarily Uninstall it and then try to burn the disc using Windows Media Player.

    Note: Reinstall the software after the trial.

    Method 4:

    Temporarily disable all programs that could activate themselves, while burning is in progress, such as screensavers or anti-virus programs.

    If the correct files are analyzed and double presents itself once again, right click on a song in double and select properties to find its location.  And then delete it from here, rather than media player directly.
