Mozilla's config for plug ins Edit (17.1 KiB, text/html)

Hello,

I too am using Edgy Eft (Ubuntu 6.10) and have installed mplayer plus the mozilla-mplayer package (versions 2.0.99 and 3.31-1 respectively). Ubuntu 6.10 is shipped with Firefox 2.

With previous versions of Ubuntu mozilla-mplayer worked fine for me with Firefox playing videos with mplayer correctly. However, as of 6.10 mozilla-mplayer appears to make no changes and Firefox uses the default behavior, which in EFt's case is to launch Totem.

Attached is the information you requested...
