Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

In Hardy Heron with Firefox 3.0 i get the following error:

after installing Xine-plugin from my Synaptic packet manager to be able to play an .m4a-file, firefox keeps asking me to install the correct plugin instead of showing the player, then when i'd like to reinstall the plugin i get an error message 'xine-plugin already installed'.

I am having the same problem. The xine plugin was installed right within Firefox, but it won't appear in the plugin management window in Firefox.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.
