I suspect there is a way inside firefox, but I couldn't find it.
Illumination would be appreciated.
  


And in the same vein, I'd like to know how I can disable flash for my 
liferea-profile.

 I have a stable x86 gentoo system with firefox (bon echo) 2.0.0.1) and
 totem 2.16.4.  According to about:plugins totem is to handle mp3 files

 I would like to temporarily not have totem handle the mp3s, but I was
 unable to see how to do it.

 I strongly suspect that unmerging totem (and remerging when done)
 would work but was looking for a less drastic method.

Less drastic method found

As root

cd /usr/lib/nsbrowser
mkdir plugins-save
mv plugins/*totem* plugins-save

When finished
mv plugins-save/* plugins

I suspect there is a way inside firefox, but I couldn't find it.
Illumination would be appreciated.
