Firefox can't find my embedded videos Help :)

Hi Everyone - I am making an "Electronic Brochure" on CD I downloaded the "ini" to enable firefox to read from a CD tweeked thi INI file "local home=" works just fine opens site NO ACTIVE X warning Smile
HOWEVER when you navigate to the "video tutorials" page and click the link for the .wmv files firefox says "can't find///E/Video_Tutorials/settinggoals.wmv

I have tried every configuration I can think of ...

Has anyone else ever been able to make firefox open windows media player with a video?

If so how?

all my other links work and if I open the exact same web site with Internet Explorer
and click the video link it opens media player and works fine....

The only problem with that is when you first open the site you get that nasty "Active X" warning

ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Firefox ain't leet baby

Firefox doesn't incorporate leet ActiveX teknawledgee yet. It's in the todo for 4.0 "Sierra Nevada", which should be alpha released before the next Halley's comet arrival. In the meantime, may I suggest a cup of tea and some legible punctuation?

Relative paths, etc

Make sure your paths are relative, etc etc.

But this really has nothing to do with Firefox Portable anymore. If your page is opening on launch, then FFP has done it's job. Anything else is in Firefox' hands and yours in terms of structuring your page properly. Either way, it's out of our hands now. If you genuinely think it's a FF issues, you can ask at mozillaZine.org in the forums. If you're not coding your pages properly using relative paths or have HTML questions, those are best asked in a web developer's forum. But, from our perspective, everything that we're responsible for is working.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
