anyone that knows how to get them to work togeather so that i can whatch streaming video like the ones on compfused.
i allready have mplayer and firefox installed so what i had in mind would be some sort of plugin or something to make it work, much like windows media player works in iternet explorer.
tried both of them but couldnt get them to work could you give me some instructions about how to get them to work preferably the ones you used and know works
i have w32codecs installed and that contained some dlls i think, firefox is installetd in a none standard location wich could be the reason it dosnt work but the other extensions i have installed (tabbrowser preferences,session saver and adblock) all work. one more thing i have been trying to install the mplayer extensions from commpresed folders instead of th xpi files wich you install normal extensions from. I did this simply because i coudnt find xpi file for the mplayer extensions do you know a location where they can be found? also how about that guide
