That's because /usr/share/mplayer isn't an application. It's a folder of common stuff for mplayer. You need the mplayer rpm (and it's dependencies). I find it easiest to use apt: apt-get install mplayer (See http://uug.byu.edu/apt) Then I can use /usr/bin/gmplayer as the helper application. The plugin will only work if it can find mplayer in the system path (/usr/bin/mplayer). It's very crude though, and you can't control the embedded video once it starts playing. Not all content is embedded, though, so you'll still need to configure mozilla to run mplayer or gmplayer (the gui version) for those types.
