Kevin:

I edited /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf and uncommented the debug=1 line.  
I edited /usr/bin/firefox and cut and pasted the script lines that 
you posted.  When I ran the script it complained about the + on the 
third line so I took it out.  It then ran but when I tried to bring 
up the streaming audio page it complained about not have the adobe 
flash plugin.  When I closed that the following was printed on the 
terminal:

[root at localhost bin]# ./firefox ** Message: NP_Initialize ** Message: 
NP_Initialize succeeded ** Message: totemPlugin ctor [0xa3fbbe0] **

I don't know enough about shell scripts to know what the - and + mean 
sorry.  Does that help at all?

Thanks very much,
