totem-mozilla-plugin not shown in the firefox plugin list

Bug Description

When totem-xine (1.2.0-0ubuntu3) is installed, totem-mozilla-plugin is
automatically activated for any video content in Firefox (1.0.7-0ubuntu20).
Although the plugin appears in about:plugins, it is not shown in Edit ->
Preferences -> Downloads -> Plug-Ins listing, and thus cannot be deactivated
without uninstalling the totem-xine package (or moving the plugin .so file).

This bug is related to bug 21110, which causes my Firefox to crash whenever I
try to access a page with embedded videos. (Why on earth can't the plugins be
run as their own processes, so that a plugin crash would not take down the whole
browser. But that is certainly out of scope of Ubuntu developers...)
