Playing video works in IE8 and not in FireFox

Rails
1

I have the following HAML

%div{‘id’ => getting_started_div}
%span{‘id’ => getting_started_span}
%a{‘id’ => getting_started_a,
‘href’ => ‘/videos/msg_ralph2.shnelvar_16_Dec_2010_07_58_59.wmv’}
‘Free Edition’

The code displays correctly in FF and IE8.

When the user clicks on “Free Edition” in IE8, a new browser tab appears
and the video plays.

In FF, a new tab appears and it looks like the video is about to play,
but nothing happens. Clicking on the “start triangle” does nothing.

Any thoughts?

This has nothing to do with Rails. Take it to a HTML or Web video forum
for better help.
