[TriLUG] MS Media Extensions in Mozilla

I have the mplayerplug-in installed. I have viewed ms media player type files with it in the past. Might be worth a shot.

Anyone know of a proper plugin or player for MS media format downloads
while browsing a website using Mozilla?  RealOne (Helix) and XMMS aren't
catching the download, and I have a family member who is trying to browse
VH1 and other entertainment sites that are providing content only in MS
format.
