Hi Lindsay.

The MozillaZine "Windows Media Player" KB doc explains installation and troubleshooting in-depth including a link to test the plugin, which should help you solve this problem.

Do note - if your Windows 7 OS is a 64-bit version, make sure that the plugin actually ends up in the Mozilla Firefox plugin folder (default C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\). There are reports of the plugin (or actually Firefox) ending up in the wrong folder. 64-bit Windows systems has 2 Program Folder locations - "Program Files" for 64-bit applications, and "Program Files (x86)" for 32-bit applications.

Also note that the Windows Media Player is required to use the plugin - if WMP has been uninstalled from the Windows Control Panel, the plugin will not work.
