I never downloaded the CDF-Player and tried to open local .cdf file with a browser. Apparently this does not work with locally stored files but it does work with files embedded in web pages. Sorry about that, I guess I should have know it (Although I other formats do not always behave this way. For example, once used to be able to open locally stored djvu files with a browser and a djvu plugin but now I have to use a separate stand alone application while the plugin works only with embedded files.)
