walkerx: If you mean the ActiveX plugin then I suggest you delete it - it does not work with Firefox 1.5

As to the Adblock issue, this is new. I'll look into it.

Yep, the Adblock obj-tabs setting breaks the WMP plugin under 1.5.

I've tried everything in this thread and it's not working. Strangely enough, the test link someone else posted, http://jrzycrim.sitesled.com/mozilla/wm ... st-HS.html , works fine, but when I go to this site: http://movies.lionhead.com/movie/16141 (that movie is just a random one I picked) it doesn't work. It says "Your browser is not configured correctly to receive WMV streamed video
Please refer to our FAQ". Before I upgraded to 1.5 it worked perfectly.

That video requires ActiveX support. In Firefox 1.0.7 you had installed the ActiveX plugin, but there is no plugin yet for Firefox 1.5.

That's why it doesn't work now.

Ah, I see. Do you have any idea when a plugin for 1.5 may be released?

Tools > Extensions
Select Adblock and click Options
Somewhere in there.

Adblock doesn't work properly in FF1.5, try Adblock Plus instead.
