I can't remember exactly now but with my previous version of Mozilla,
if the program couldn't find RealPlayer or any suitable program I had
the choice of browsing to find a program myself. I could then tell it
to use  eg usr/bin/realplay and it worked.

Now I am told that eg Realplay is not found and would I like to
download it? It is just that the program is looking in the wrong place.

Working lunch is a good example (bbc.co.uk/workinglunch). There is a
choice to watch previous programs in broadband. When I try I am told
that Realplayer is missing and I should download it. It is not missing
it is just the program looking in the wrong place. I am not given the
chance to point the program to the right place.

My previous version gave me the option to tell the program where to
look. Or is my memory playing me up?

My other question is, how do I add plugins to Firefox? The help file
tells me to click on Edit/Preferences and then on the add-ins button.
There are no addins listed, and nowhere does it explain how to add
them. Or am I being thick?
