Been there, done that, have an overloaded /plugins directory.

I have gecko-mediaplayer happily playing most of my embedded videos
using mplayer or something else. Flash was a bit of struggle, until I
got *both* versions of libflashsupport installed on my x86_64 laptop.
However, I cannot play the Apple trailers either. Maybe they have
versioned their quicktime stuff and we have to wait for updates to the
FOSS stuff?
If you want to look at it, I'm attaching a cut/paste of my about:plugins
page....
