[930] /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins $ ls
gecko-mediaplayer-dvx.so   libswfdecmozilla.so
gecko-mediaplayer-dvx.xpt  libtotem-basic-plugin.so
gecko-mediaplayer-qt.so    libtotem-basic-plugin.xpt
gecko-mediaplayer-qt.xpt   libtotem-complex-plugin.so

gecko-mediaplayer.xpt      libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.so
libflashplayer.so          libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.xpt
libgnashplugin.so          nphelix.so
libjavaplugin.so           nphelix.xpt

I think the gecko* files come from the installation of mplayerplug-in
