3. Then you need to scroll down the list, and you need to look for the entry called:Microsoft Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin
4. Then if you find the entry been present, then the plugin is installed.
5. And if the entry seems to be missing, then you need to proceed further in order to install the new plugin section.

Windows XP do not include the standard Windows Media Player plugin. This new plugin can be installed on yourr system inorder to solve a missing plugin issue or to take advantage of its new features on systems that already include the standard Windows Media Player plugin. The plugin installer adds the file "np-mswmp.dll" to the Firefox installation directory plugins folder, typically "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins". If Firefox is not installed or if the Firefox installation directory cannot be located, the plugin will be placed in another location such as C:\PFiles\Plugins.
