Package: mozilla-plugin-vlc
Version: 0.8.6-svn20061012.debian-5etch1
Followup-For: Bug #400720

The embedded video player does not work for firefox/iceweasel.
I can view the embedded video fine when the package totem-mozilla
is installed.  So, I presume it is not an issue of codecs.

At Ubuntu, they recently reported a bug fix:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/99810
  Bug #99810 in vlc (Ubuntu)
  mozilla-plugin-vlc: symlinks for Firefox are in the wrong place

Could this be also causing the bug in the Debian package?
They report that once the correct symlink had been added,
mozilla-plugin-vlc started working in Ubuntu.
