Only an alternative. xineplugin will crash Mozilla as well... you'll
just have to trust me on that. Though not perfect, the mplayer
mozilla plugin is much better than the xineplugin.... though I have
not tried it with Ff. I prefer Xine over Mplayer for DVD playback,
but for plugin support for mov,wmv,etc... the mplayer plugin is
more stable than the xineplugin.

You can get it all from packman.
