wmp in firefox

by ernsttco Sep 26, 2006 12:42AM PDT

I am using firefox 2 beta 2 and I have wmp 11 installed. For some reason whenever I go to gamespot.com and try to watch a video, after the video is done the browser crashes. Sometimes I get a error message that says the plug in performed an illegal operation and to restart firefox. What can be causing this.

Isn't WMP 11 a beta too?

The thing about betas are the interesting bugs people find. Beta = buggy. Somewhere, we just don't know where.

Move to versions that are released and we know work.
