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."

VLC probably installed codecs that conflicted somehow.

Maybe it is different in Windows than under BeOS. But VLC for BeOS has all it's plug-ins(codecs) in a local directory to the VLC software - they should only be visible to VLC.

Same for VLC on all platforms. VLC on Windows doesn't touch the rest of the system.
