I found version 2.66 at linuxpackages, for SW 10.0.

The Slackware package assumes you have installed firefox not just unpacked 
it into its own directory.  I will unpackage and copy the README and xpt 
to /firefox*/plugins and the so to /firefox*/components

This says it is for playing embedded movies on webpages, which means it 
needs to play movies and access URLs by name not number and therefore 
won't work with what I compiled (audio only) or the uclibc version (DNS 
problem) so please do provide your script.  It plays Windows Media, 
Quicktime, MPEG.


I will try again to compile a movie-playing version against glibc.
