I have the same problem. Did the same thing last night and so what, no change. I am a bit niffed about the fact that 8.1 has substantial improvements in it and at the same time such simple things that worked before, like have moz and plugins work don't work anymore. Realplayer will not open links in any browser and tells me an error has occurred and offers a button in the pop-up for details. When pressing the details buttons the the pop-up disappears and no details (so debugging or workarounds becomes very hard). I went to the netscape dir and moved the plugins to the moz/plugins dir and that made it worse (now I have to figure out how to get it back to where it was). And I created a plugins dir and copied the plugins in my ~/home/<users> dir and, well, so what - no change. So, anyone with any suggestions?

Folks. I have an issue. When I go to about:plugins in mozilla I see that the RealPlayer plugin is associated with RPM..not ram or rm formats. So consequently when I download rpm's it starts RealPlayer and when I try to view a realplayer file it does absolutely nothing. I had nothing in helper applications in Mozilla then I put the correct entry for helper applications and it changed nothing. This setting is from SuSE's RealPlayer pkg and it's in SuSE Mozilla pkg. I've done nothing special to it. It's like this on my 8.1 box in the office and my 8.0 box at home. I thought it was CrossOver that had screwed up the mime types. It appears that this isn't the case.
If anyone has any thoughts on this that would be great. *sigh* This fighting with every single little thing when it comes to media programs under Linux is getting so bloody old. :(
