    Exclamation Help with Firefox

    I recently downloaded Morzilla Firefox explorer as the Internet Explorer was fcúked. Anyway, I can't download files with Morzilla Firefox as the Windows Media Player still thinks that the Internet Explorer is the main browser.

    Any ideas how I can download files on Firefox with Windows Media Player??

    Cheers!!

    Yes.

    here is the url I'm trying to download from;

    http://www.fm104.ie/Article.asp?id=79626

    then when it tries to open it in the windows media player the following appears;

    Windows Media Player cannot play the file. One or more codecs required to play the file could not be found.

    I think you need an audio codec, usually AC3 Filter. Thats as far as my knowlege goes on it!

    Can be found at http://www.free-codecs.com/

    Definitely not a Firefox problem. Firefox is the business by the way - way better than Internet Explorer
