Someone sent me a movie clip extraordinaire_instrument_de_musique.wmv I can't open it correctly. What I get is a file of symbols in textmate. I would like to be able to watch the movie, but don't know how to get around this problem.

You can open that file in your media player, hopefully will QuickTime play such a file. Firefox sees the file as a text file and displays it as such and you do not seem to have a file action in Firefox > Preferences > Applications for .wmv files.
