How do I open files in Firefox?

I have uploaded some mpg files to a website but while they will stream and play immediately in IE, with Firefox I have to wait till they've downloaded. I see another answer says that Firefox cannot play media files. I have tried downloading a plug-in that was supposed to allow streaming but that wouldn't finish downloading. It seems a big drawback for Firefox if it can't let you watch mpg files. Can anyone advise me?
