In Firefox view .wmv instead of downloading them

by denjones Dec 30, 2006 12:05PM PST

I think my son changed the Windows Media Player options in Firefox and now then we go to view a .wmv file on line, Firefox downloads the file instead of playing the video. I can open the downloaded movie and it plays just fine but something has changed within the last couple of days and now I can't just view the files only download them.

When I use IE, everything is fine.

Suggestions?
