[plug] Firefox helper applications.

[Jason Posavec]

At least totem-xine gave me some real information - I need a plugin for 
Video codec 'MS WMV 9 (win32)'. Unfortunately it doesn't tell me how to 
get the actual plugin. Synaptic says it has "* Automatic download of the 
Windows DLL plugins", but nothing automatic is happening at this end. It 
just tells me that I need it, and that I'm now free to click OK. Is my 
knowledge of installing plugins for applications sadly lacking?
