i have said here before that windows media player is stuffed on my hdd. i cant reinstall it.
anyway, does anyone know how i can change firefox from using media player for all these links u guys put up?
i have changed it so firefox would try to load these with DivX... however it still tries to load them with Media player...
I have a clean reinstall coming very soon, waitin on HDD... no real biggie, its just annoying....

Have you tried turning off the program access? Go into Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Set Program Access and Defaults > Custom > Choose a default media player > Windows Media Player > uncheck Enable access to this program
No idea if that will work or not, but it might so give it a burl .
(those are XP instructions)

I think it's windows which opens these things in media player.
Imho the FF only passes the link to windows to decide what it wants to do with it.
you can try to install the irfanView and it's plugins and check (almost) all things to open with ifranView and see what happens.

This might help. Its an extention for FF, which allows you to alter what media programmes FF uses to open media.
