When I use about:plugins, there is nothing pertaining to Real Player
there.

However, check Edit -> Preferences -> Downloads -> File Types

and there should be a listing for "RAM" files. Double click on that line
and it should indicate the settings for files with (RAM, RM) extensions.
You can then indicate what application to use (ie. Default, Open in this
Application, Save to Disk). For the Application options, realplay should
be /usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay.

If this line is not present, then go to a site that has RM streaming
media (ie. http://service.real.com/realplayer/test/). Click on one of
the RP10 streams. Firefox should prompt you with similar options as
above and then you can specify the application.

HTH,
