FF:WMP9 & IE:WMP10


Recommended Posts

This has puzzled me for a while. But when I'm viewing videos in Firefox, the version is Windows Media Player but in Internet Explorer it's WMP10.

Is there anyway to make FF use WMP10?

Thanks

I was wondering the same thing as well.

Rough guess: Firefox/Opera/(insert other browsers here) use plugins which still have the WMP9 look, but IE and the ActiveX OCX control uses the new WMP10 look.

That hasn't worked :s

It makes both browsers use WMP9, which is not what I want, I want them both to use WMP10.

Yeah. But like I said, I'm pretty sure Microsoft did this on purpose to make the ActiveX version fancier than the plugin version. (If you consider glass to be fancy, that is.)

They will use 10 if you have 10 installed. The key is the same for wmp78/9/10 but was released when 9 was the official version.

Well, I have WMP 10 installed, that I'm sure of. WMP10 was working in IE, then I did that reg thing and it's not now. Ah well.
