When I attempt to view a WMV file from Firefox, it always starts Kaffine which doesn't seem to work with WMV files. I downloaded MPlayer and that seems to work with these files, but how do I get Firefox 1.5 to run MPlayer instead of Kaffine when I click the file link? FWIW, I'm running SuSE 10.0 and KDE 3.4.2.

Get mplayerplug-in (for example from http://packman.links2linux.org) and remove the kaffeine plugin from firefox. Note that kaffeine may be loaded through the general purpose dragonegg plugin, which allows all sorts of kde things to be embedded into firefox. Not sure how you would disable only kaffeine from that, that plugin doesn't seem to have a whole lot of documentation
Yes, this helps. However where do I go to disable/remove a plugin from Firefox? If I click on the Plugins button on the Download page of the Preferences dialog, I get a list of three, noe of which have anything to do with this issue. Thanks for the help. -- Bill Lugg Milstar Software Support Peterson AFB, CO On Tuesday 31 January 2006 7:01 pm, Anders Johansson wrote:
