According to w3schools.com, the classid and codebase attributes are only used by ActiveX. That's fine for IE6 and it did in fact make IE use QuickTime instead of WMP but it doesn't help in Firefox. Firefox still asks for a plugin.

    Googling Firefox m3u turns up lots of suggestions for working around the Firefox problem. One site I found recommends changing the htaccess file on your server.

    I also came across a slick-looking MP3-streaming system called Andromeda. —David

      I already have the mime type defined on the server, the problem is really with the client. Firefox doesn't seem to allow the definition of one program as the handler of a file type when it is downloaded and another program (plugin) when the same file type is embedded.
