for some reason i cant view any or stream any videos that must be played using media player...

Whenever i try to view one, it tries to opens up and then it gives a notification saying, additional plugins are required to display all the media on the page. I then click install missing plugins, it searches for a while then it says no suitable plugins were found and shows, Unknown plugin (application/x-mplayer2). I then click manual install and it brings me to a microsoft site where i have to download windows media player 11. It downloads then tries to install, and then says that i already have the latest version installed and i cant install previous versions.. Anyone know why or what i can do to rectify this.

I am running windows vista home premium and i am using firefox... the latest version. Thank you
