Once you have set up and configured mplayer, add the plugin to Firefox by installing the mozilla-mplayer package. For users of 5.10 (Breezy) and earlier, see MPlayer for Breezy. For 6.06 LTS (Dapper) and 6.10 (Edgy), simply install the mplayer package from the multiverse repositories. The MPlayer media player is not installed by default on Ubuntu Linux. To make Real Player take over the handling of real media files, follow the instructions in the RealPlayer and Firefox 2 section on the RealPlayer wiki page. Note: The current version of the Totem plugin that handles real media files is not functional. On 6.10 (Edgy), simply install the totem-mozilla package. If you use totem-xine, you should install the totem-xine-firefox-plugin package. If you use totem-gstreamer (the version of Totem that uses the gstreamer back-end), install the totem-gstreamer-firefox-plugin package. On 6.06 LTS (Dapper), the plugin depends on the multimedia framework you use. Totem, Ubuntu's default video player, supports both the gstreamer (default) and xine multimedia frameworks.
