[nabs-l] Displaying Windows Media in Firefox

[Bill]

My advice would be to go to tools>options>applications there is a list of a
million file types and you can decide there how you would like firefox to
handle them.  not sure if this applies to pre 3.0 releases, but if your
firefox is older then 3 you should update tit for security reasons.
