Microsoft has released a Windows Media Player plugin for Firefox. The plugin obviously only works on Windows. "We couldn't respond as quickly as we would have liked to (we had to get Windows Vista out the door!), but now that it's shipped, the team has moved its attention to getting Firefox users up and running. This week we are happy to say that we have a new plug-in for Firefox that makes WMP work once again."

Yes it does have something to do with VLC. WMP worked fine before installing VLC. After installing VLC I was no longer able to watch videos using WMP. I uninstall VLC and I was able to watch video again. I do not have winamp installed and have not installed it in a couple of years.

No, that does not sound like VLC is the problem, more like WMP. Like the person said who replied to you before all VLC should is register that it is the preferred player for certain media files.
If WMP gives you a blank screen on a video media file just because it is no longer the preferred player then there is a bug (feature?) in WMP.

That has nothing to do with VLC because VLC doesn't touch anything from WMP.
WinAmp may screw up WMP and WMP may screw up WinAmp, but VLC makes no difference on the system since it doesn't use or touch anything the WMP needs.
Well apart from the filetype registration, obviously. But that's not a problem.
