I'm just back from holidays so all the followings is just ideas and not
results from tests.

You might remember that roughtly 1 year ago, you tested the vlc plugin
in the various mozilla based browser and deducted that for it to work in
all case it has to be built against iceape-dev. From your mail it seems
that iceape-dev is part of the past and Mozilla fixed their apps. that's
a good news.

I'll try to test rebuilding the vlc plugin and testing in various
browser before Xmas.
