I went to Mozilla's plug-in site and it says to install this registry patch:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\ShimInclusionList\MOZILLA.EXE]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\ShimInclusionList\PHOENIX.EXE]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\ShimInclusionList\MOZILLAFIREBIRD.EXE]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\ShimInclusionList\FIREFOX.EXE]

Problem is, I don't know how to install registry patches :/ Any help is much appreciated.
 
Well if it's in a .reg file, just double click it. I think I found what you're talking about, you might have to save the link to a file, then double click the file.
 
You can manually add the entries if you want.

Start, run, 'regedit'.

Navagate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\ShimInclusionList"

In that 'folder' if there is not a firefox.exe 'folder'. Add a new KEY named firefox.exe.

A much simpler way is copy paste this on a txt file (notepad), rename the .txt to .reg and double click it.

What's funny is, is the fact that the folder is in there, but it won't recognize WMP9 for Firefox. What I'm trying to dl is ESPN Motion. I use User Agent Switcher to make the ESPN dl think that the browser is IE, but then it says I don't have WMP7.1 or higher :/
