Give that a try!

Thanks oneandoneis2,
copy npvlc.dll and vlcintf.xpt from the mozilla folder of your VLC Media Player installation to your browser's plugins folder.


Could you please give me step by step, not sure how to do it.
Thanks

It's easier to install VLC plugins for Firefox by using a package manager such as Yum. Run this command as root "yum install mozilla-vlc". I don't think it's correct to use Windows .dll files in Linux.
