Why don't these vids play in FireFox?

Note the Content-Type. Evidently IE sees text/plain, but realizes that the extension of .wmv needs to be processed. He needs to adjust his mime types on his server.

Probably missing the following in his apache config/mime.types declaration

video/x-ms-asf asf asx
video/x-ms-wm wm
video/x-ms-wmv wmv
video/x-ms-wmx wmx
video/x-ms-wvx wvx

Good info, I'll let him know.

Cleo, so would you list this site since the WMVs can be played when saved first? I just think it's bound to piss off surfers with FireFox or a non-WMV-compatible browsers, which are quite a few. And I'm sure many don't know they have to save them first.
