The solution u point out for Firefox Users, is to be done by the user right? not the server.

Can someone please tell me, how can i put a link in the "radio" page in which i say the Firefox users, to go a see this link?
It could be great if this is shown only for Firefox users

It was really just a matter of installing the ActiveX plugin by following the steps listed here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewto...?t=167260#FF_1

The problem I had the first time was addressed at Step 0. (must have missed it the first time)

IMPORTANT. If you use the Adblock Extension, you must make sure that the setting for OBJ-TABS is disabled. Otherwise, your system will run almost any ActiveX control. See Note 5.

Are you having problems installing the plugin?


lanc3lot,

Yes, the user has to perform these steps to update their Firefox installation.

To add the link, look in the RADIO template, near the botom find </fieldset>, and just below it add

<br />
<if condition="is_browser('firefox')">
Firefox users: If this player doesn't work, <a target="_blank" href="http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=167260">Click Here</a> for a possible solution.

VERY, VERY COOL! Installed. Still, it would be nice if it worked with Firebird.. It works perfect with Explorer...

the whole window is blank, or the player applet?

if it's the whole window, you're having a seperate issue then what he's fixing.

[Sal Collaziano]

Yeah, it's the whole window that pops up.. What could this mean?

I got this player working perfectly in both IE and Firefox. Thanks to all of you for your combined help.

Be sure to check it out in IE and Firefox to see if you like the changes I made and that it works for your installation.

are you trying it in Firefox or something else? Also, what version of Windows Media are you using, cuz this only works right on 9 or above, but preferrably 10.
