Webplayer saves file instead of playing it


In order to play videos (Flash Format) on the website I use JW Player on my pages. But I seem to have some problems with it.

On certain Firefox browsers when clicking on the player it chooses to download the file instead of playing it in the browser. On the same computer I tried it on Internet Explorer and there my webplayer is showing badly, it stands in the top left corner (whereas it should be in the middle of the page) and flickers a bit.

Because everything is in development the webpage is only available through our servers. In other words, I can't provide you any link with details.

So my question is, why do some browsers download the video instead of playing it? And is there a possible free alternative to JW Player to play flash videos?

Any comment will be appreciated. Kind regards, Floris Devriendt
