VLC Player as default player in Firer Fox

VLC Player on OiOS


As the industry slowly migrates over to HTML 5 formats many rely on Adobe Flash to play existing embedded flash content files.Adobe are not developing Flash Player in the wake of this transition but have opted for support for security updates.One option it to look at the VLC Player to opt for default playing of embedded files instead of Adobe Flash Player.To test this we headed over to Firer fox lan forums for answers at   http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=55544.

Using VLC on FF 3.6.12 we had mixed results with some files playing seamlessly,others needing prompting or not playing at all.We hope to now test more recent releases of Firerfox to see if seamless integration fares better on the more recent releases.
