Yes, I'd like a feature like that. I'd like a feature to allow me to
make Firefox to forget about totem completely.

But...

In the past, you could tell mozilla how to handle a media file. They
changed in Firefox, but there's a way to bring that feature back. In
Firefox, type about:config at the url and find 

browser.download.hide_plugins_without_extensions

Double click on it to set it to false. Then under
Edit->Preferences->Downloads you should see all the media types and
(theoretically) you could change the player. I didn't mess with that but
it might just be the feature we want.
