New issue 22077 by [email protected]: WMP's NPAPI plugin installer fails if  
Firefox isn't installed
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=22077

I found that if Firefox is not installed, then the Windows Media Player
Firefox plugin installer won't install the np-mswmp.dll.   This is a problem
for Chrome and Safari users who don't have Firefox installed.  This document
describes the standard way that NPAPI plugins register themself in case
they're installed before the browser:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Plugins/The_First_Install_Problem

Ideally, the installer would always copy the dll to a specific location
(Program Files\Windows Media Player) and then just set the MozillaPlugins so
that browsers can find it.

I've sent emails to WMP developers, waiting to hear back.
