If you have installed the new WMP plugin and it is not detected, you can set the preference plugins.load_appdir_plugins to true in about:config. Important: In current versions (since Firefox 21), the /plugins folder is not scanned by default. For SeaMonkey, the file "np-mswmp.dll" can be copied to the SeaMonkey\plugins folder, which you can create if it doesn't exist. If the Firefox installation directory cannot be located, the plugin file "np-mswmp.dll" will be placed in another location such as C:\PFiles\Plugins and you will need to copy it to your Firefox or SeaMonkey installation plugins folder. Since Firefox 4, the "plugins" folder does not exist by default but will be created as needed. The plugin installer adds the file "np-mswmp.dll" to the Firefox installation directory "plugins" folder, typically C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins or, on 64-bit Windows, C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\plugins.
