  1. New bugs & exploits being introduced in Windows Media Player in later updates for Windows 10


    Hi,

    I have a slightly speculative question and it relates to new bugs and/or exploits being introduced into Windows Media Player in later updates to Windows 10. Around March to August 2019 several windowsreport.com reported about several features not working or broken in Windows Media Player, suggesting that software developers at Microsoft are likely poorly maintaining Windows Media Player as part of later updates to Windows 10.

    Basically, my speculation is that either Microsoft doesn't care about Windows Media Player being deprecated or Microsoft developers don't even bother to bug test Windows 10 updates to make sure that Windows Media Player still works in Windows 10.

    Does this mean that Microsoft has been wanting to remove Windows Media Player from later updates of Windows 10?

    What is the criteria of new bugs & exploits being left in Windows Media Player in updates for Windows 10 unnoticed by Microsoft employees & software developers? I want to here from Microsoft Tech Support.

    :)

  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).
