Comment 9 for bug 46217

I am experiencing rather irritating problems visiting http://www.timesonline.co.uk/uk/

I don't just get one error message, but hundreds. They just keep coming, which is a far worse bug than a missing codec, as it means I have to quit Firefox to stop the messages clogging up my system. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that there's the slightest chance this could constitute a potential security hole in Firefox/Totem on systems that have the Firefox Totem plugin but not the WMV9 Totem plugin.

In other words, this could be serious.

The error looks something like: "Totem could not play 'mms://.../wm.rootmedia/84/84325_300.asf...

Video codec 'MS WMV 9 (win32)' is not handled..."
