Not sure but I think the same applies to mozilla-1.4:

I installed RealPlayer-8.0-6mdk.i586.rpm, 
RealPlayer-Codecs-9.0-2mdk.i586.rpm and mozplugger-1.3.0-8mdk.i586.rpm but 
couldn't get RealPlayer working in either mozilla-1.5 or firebird-0.7 
(RealPlayer itself worked fine, just not from a browser). I had already 
created a symlink to /usr/lib/RealPlayer8/rpnp.so in both plugin 
directories, but alas... no go.

The problem is that these newer versions of mozilla and firebird are 
compiled with gcc-3.2 but the RealPlayer plugin is compiled with gcc-2.95. 
Thanks to Mitch at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213234 we 
have a hack to get around this problem.

After locating an old libgcc.a from gcc-2.96 on my system, I created the 
file (see attached rpnphack.so ) called rpnphack.so with the following 
parameters:

ld -shared -o rpnphack.so \
    /full/path/to/RealPlayer/rpnp.so \
    /some/path/to/an/old/libgcc.a

I then copied the rpnphack.so to the browser plugin directories, started 
firebird, tried RealNetworks' test samples at 
http://service.real.com/realone/test/ and VOILA!!! it works!  Realplayer 
starts buffering the demo.

NOTE:  Still can't get comedycentral.com to work though!  Says I don't have 
realplayer installed.

about:plugins shows:
audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin     RealPlayer Plugin Metafile      rpm     Yes

and in /etc/mozpluggerrc I have the following lines:

audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin: rpm: RealPlayer Plugin Metafile
audio/x-pn-realaudio: ra,rm,ram: Realaudio-plugin resource locator
audio/x-realaudio: ra,rm,ram: RealAudio file
application/vnd.rn-realmedia: rm: RealMedia file
application/smil: smi: RealPlayer
audio/vnd.rn-realaudio: ra,ram: RealAudio file
audio/vnd.rn-realvideo: rv: RealVideo file
        nokill exits: realplay "$file"
