I am using FC2 and Firefox 1.0.3
I can download a wmv file and it opens in Totem fine, but I have to right

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.
That works, however the common practice is to make a link in the firefox
plugin directory to the .so file. That way when the plugin gets updated
firefox will use the new file and not just the old one it already has.

Now that makes sense... I still can't figure out why the plugin
directory has only the default plugin and the other plugins (about 5)
are located all over the place. i would think that they (or links)
would all be in one place.
