Firefox Question

[MacDaddyPlaya]

When I open a video file in Firefox, sometimes it opens in Windows Media Player and begins playing, sometimes it goes to the download manager and has to download completely.

Anyone know why and what causes Firefox to download the vidoe not open it and stream it? If I open the same video in IE, it buffers and plays in the Media Player.

It's the way the link is done on the site. It's up to the webmaster if he wants it to stream or not.

just a tip: use Tools->Page Info->Media and save everything you need to your HDD
