I have what I believe is pretty much all the vlc and mplayer stuff installed.  I mainly use chrome.  But, when I bring up firefox and enter "about:config" I find


    QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.6

    File: libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.so


You seem to be saying there is a vlc plugin that can be used instead.  Can you tell me the plugin name and what package has the plugin?
