Wmv Files do not show up in FireFox

XMLWordPrintable

      Steps to reproduce

      1) Attaching a wmv file to a confluence page and add the following in the page:

      !WindowsMedia.wmv!

      2) View the page in IE.

      3) View the page in FF, the video will not automatically play (or play at all).

      When viewing page source:

      <object classid="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95"
 codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701"
 data="/download/attachments/201294066/WindowsMedia.wmv?version=1&amp;modificationDate=1252935771173" 
 id="mediaPlayer" name="mediaPlayer" type="application/octet-stream" >
<param name="data"
 value="/download/attachments/201294066/WindowsMedia.wmv?version=1&amp;modificationDate=1252935771173"/>
<param name="src"
 value="/download/attachments/201294066/WindowsMedia.wmv?version=1&amp;modificationDate=1252935771173"/>
<param name="type" value="application/octet-stream"/>
<embed id="mediaPlayer" name="mediaPlayer"
 pluginspage="http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/"
 src="/download/attachments/201294066/WindowsMedia.wmv?version=1&amp;modificationDate=1252935771173"
 type="application/octet-stream" />
</object>

      however in the page http://www.walkernews.net/2008/08/17/windows-media-player-how-to-embed-wmv-file-in-html-code/, the embedded wmv file plays in FF and the view page source shows:

      <object classid="clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" width="480" height="360"
