To use mplayerplug-in:

  0. Don power gloves

  1. Execute:

    # rm /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/nphelix*
    # sed -i -e 's/^#enable-real=0/enable-real=1/' /usr/X11R6/etc/mplayerplug-in.conf
    # touch /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/mplayerplug-in.so

  2. Restart mozilla

Not that it seems to work too well: my first attempt at viewing a real
movie (from www.real.com) got stuck, the second attempt crashed. But
there it is...
