  1. Windows Defender notifications at Edge & Firefox startup


    Hello,I have started experiencing something weird right after installing the KB5058411 update for Windows 11 :Notifications from Windows Defender are now displayed everytime I'm launching Edge 136.0.3240.76 version and Firefox 138.0.3 version, installed from Microsoft Store, telling me that both software were prevented from accessing protected folders, like so :This is something that begun to happen right after the update so I guess it's not malware related, but still extremely weird.What do you think ? Thank you in advance.

    :)

    Edge startup

    Since you've done changing the start page on your Microsoft Edge and the issue is still the same, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

    • Click on the Start Menu.
    • Select Settings.
    • Click the System Menu.
    • Click Notifications and Actions.
    • Turn off Show me Tips about Windows.

    Give us an update on the result and we will be glad to assist you further.
     
  3. New Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox

    Anyone who uses Windows Vista and Mozilla Firefox may be pleased to hear that the Windows Media Player team has now released a plugin for Firefox that should allow the browser to play WMP content on websites. Here are the steps to get it working:
    • Installation of the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin may require administrative access to your PC. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.
    • Click the Install button to automatically download and install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
    • Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the plugin.
    There is a known issue if you are using Firefox version 2.0.0.3 on Windows Vista with the installer failing with error code -203. To work around this simply restart Firefox (you will get a notification that Windows Vista will be changing the Firefox compatibility settings) and then install again - the second time should succeed.

    The download is available here, and the new plugin works on all versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista (although it is mostly intended for Vista, as that currently has no WMP support in Firefox).
