No, I did not remember exactly where I got the
mplayerplug-in (although I did mention that it
is available at linuxpackages).

Yes, that's what I got too.

You put them in the top firefox directory?
That's strange.

Right, it's GTK2.  You obviously need the GTK1 version.

Yes, I said I got version 3.31 because I understood
that was the version for Firefox 1.5.  However, most
pre-compiled Firefox 1.5 packages were designed for
gtk2.  Remember:  I was only able to find one source 
(in Japan) for a gtk1 Firefox 1.5.  

Since most pre-compiled Firefox 1.5 packages were 
gtk2, it makes sense that your mplayerplug-in was
gtk2.  Obviously, I found a gtk1 version of the
mplayerplug-in.  We just need to find it again.

I am looking for it now.

Cheers,
Steven
