This is a normal post browser and OS?

This is a normal post I'm getting no playback controls, and no automatic playing
Running Firefox 2 on XP SP2 (Firefox/2.0.0.12 to be precise)

No problems with IE6

edit: not sure if related, but if I disable JavaScript in FF, I get a series of Illegal Operation in Plug In error messages relating to WMPlayer DLL Plugin.

This is a normal post okay, cheers
I totally can't reproduce this on either Vista or XP. Still trying...

EDIT: 100% clean XP SP2. Firefox 2.0.0.12. Absolutely nothing else (no patches, media player updates, or plugins). Works fine. sigh

This is a normal post If it helps, I just downloaded the wmplayer plugin again
from port25.technet.com/pages/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download.aspx

and now I get the player controls in FF and can view video with no problems

Presumably I was just using the default FF plugin before, or one that was bundled with wmplayer.

This is a normal post thank you
when you weren't getting controls, were you still getting the video? or just the audio?

This is a normal post I could see a the space where the video was
just as a black square, right size for the video, but no controls and no video or audio. Seems some people have had the video playing automatically, but I didn't experience that
