Sometimes it is a matter of getting the plugin in to /usr/lib/firefox--x/plugins. Sometimes it isd a matter of changing mozzpluggerrc. In any case what you get when you go to about:pluggins has no relationship to the pluggin list you get when you go to edit-> prperties-> Downloads. I have a FC5 machine with no mozpluggerrc in which video and audio works perfectly, and I have another machine that I have diddled around with and video works but audio works only from certain sources. Its a mess. I liked the interface where you told the browser that input of a certain mime-type with a particular extension should be processed by this application. Where has that clarity gone. -- Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
