Firefox plug-in problem

[jazzman111]

I'm using Firefox 1.5 in an XP Media Center Edition environment. When I click on the "Listen" icon in Amazon.com'
s music listings, I get a pop up box saying I need to "download a plugin". This applies whether it's Windows Media Player or RealPlayer. I have already downloaded and installed both of these plugins, and even when I did so again, for some reason, Firefox refuses to recognize and launch these programs. I switched to IE--no problem, so it's definitely something in Firefox. How can I fix this?

Check this out, I think you may need to download the User Agent Switcher, it allows you to make Firefox emulate IE or other browsers. I was having same problem, now it's fine after I downloaded it.

Thanks, I'll check that out. But I find it hard to believe that a browser as committed to the open system concept as Firefox hasn't been designed to run two of the major audio players in the industry.

Firefox will, I am quite sure that link will get you to the correct link within FireFox Add-ins etc., I use to have the exat link, it's there, and you can play those media players. Sorry I can't find the exact link.
