Can "Windows Media Player" content be played in FireFox under Kubuntu 7.10

[VictorWarner]

I am using Kubuntu 7.10 and FireFox.

There are few websites I have accessed which use/need Windows Media Player to display some content.

Is is possible to install any programs/plugins etc which would enable the content to be played in FireFox/Kubuntu.

Help with this would be greatly appreciated.

All of the above are in the repos so just use adept/synaptic/sudo apt-get install to install.

You will also need the mozilla-plugin-vlc and mozilla-mplayer
