That's weird. What does about:plugins say? gecko-mediaplayer should be listed for plenty of Windows Media mimetypes there. > > It defaults to being enabled and I just checked > > that it indeed is enabled by default for a new user and I'm able to > > watch the videos with gecko-mediaplayer in a new profile. > > Where is the user configuration file for gnome-mplayer? > I mean: which file(s) should I move out of the way, in order to start > with a new gnome-mplayer profile (without creating a new user on my > box)? dconf should store the settings in ~/.config/dconf/user … but that's a binary file containing all settings for any application using dconf.
