 I can download a wmv file and it opens in Totem fine, but I have to right
click and download the file.  Otherwise I get a message for CLICK HERE TO
DOWNLOAD PLUGIN and it is unable to find a suitable plugin.
 
 Can I convince firefox to use totem as a plugin for these files?
 
 Following is the webpage code (reformatted for visibility, was one straight

You can use mplayer:

If you are bent on totem, them search yum, there is probably something similar.

ok, I was able to re-associate links to open in mplayer. However the webpages still gave me a missing plugin error. So I did an apt-get mplayerplug-in and then searched for the .so file and copied it over to the default firefox plugin folder. Now it works! Thanks.
