I have not been able to view anything that requires the Windows Media plug-in with the latest version of Firefox. It says to manually install the plug-in. I re-installed the latest version of Media Player but still won't play video files.
I found a mozilla forum that tells how to fix it but have not tried it yet.

3. Click on "Options" and then select "Applications" from the left menu.

4. In the search bar, type "matlab" and press Enter.
