Big fan. I wish it handled clicking on .wmv correctly. When I do so, it opens the movie as a text file.

I don't think that is an error with FireFox -- it sounds like the server doesn't have its Mimetypes configured correctly. IE automatically corrects a lot of HTML and server config errors by understanding how to display them.

Try going to MS's site with Firefox and browsing through KB articles -- they look like total shit compared to viewing them on IE. Why? Firefox is displaying the code just fine, MS has just coded it to not match HTML/XML standards.

Think that might be on purpose? Naaaah!

Firefox kicks ass.
