I decided to install the new mplayerplug-in for Mozilla on a computer using apt-get. BIG MISTAKE! Now I can't get Mozilla or Synaptic to boot up. The boot up of my 9.0 Pro from grub even doesn't act the same. Is there a cure for this? ---Jim

Hi Jim,
When you add or change plug-ins in Mozilla, you have to delete the file "pluginreg.dat" in your ~/.mozilla directory before it will recognize the changes... I believe this is a documented feature ;-)
Also, I once forgot to delete that file after upgrading a plug-in. When Mozilla crashed due to calling an unrecognized version of the 'plugged in' software, it destabilized my desktop. After I rebooted, I was "restored" to the same (poorly functioning) session until the underlying problem was solved. So, yes, it is possible for your system to look and act differently because of problems like this.
Finally, mplayerplug-in 2.70 requires a version of Mozilla built for GTK2. If your Mozilla uses GTK1, use mplayerplug-in 2.60 instead.
YMMV & IHTH!
regards,
